If you’ve lived in upstate New York, you know to avoid the woods during deer season. Novice “city folk” hunters will shoot at anything. Farmers paint “cow” on their livestock in day-glow orange, and they still get shot. Gary and Debbie Morgan of Troy left their 16-month-old white golden retriever Meadow with a friend near Delhi a few days before the deer hunt started. The last thing they wanted to hear was that she’d gone missing. They offered a $500 reward, and several volunteers braved the bullets to help search. But Meadow was still missing ten days later. That’s when Brian James - hiking guide and drone pilot - joined the hunt. He surmised a white pooch would be more visible before snowfall, and she’d be easier to spot from the air. He was right on both counts. Meadow wouldn’t follow him out of the woods, so Brian had to carry her back. But neither of them got shot.
