Dillon Hillman and his wiener dog Costa after tracking a deer in Vernon Parish.
“She started this year off last night helping a fellow hunter that was unable to find his kill. He called us at 10:30 p.m. Saturday night. We arrived at his camp and started at last blood they found. Three hundred yards later we found the doe that he had shot still alive. She would’ve died and been coyote bait if it weren’t for Costa. Finding this deer was her 41st deer to find.”
