After 5 Dogs and a Grid Search, We Still Hit the Trail!

Описание: This was a tough public land deer tracking job that turned into a great learning experience. A hunter’s wife made a shot on a deer, and I agreed to come out mainly because I personally knew the hunter. By the time we got there, five dogs and three hunters had already grid searched the area twice, so I didn’t have high hopes of finding the deer.

Still, my tracking dog worked hard and methodically, following every bit of blood, scent, and sign she could find. In the end, we confirmed what I suspected — the deer wasn’t dead. A few months later, the hunter got trail camera pictures proving that same deer was still alive and doing fine.

This video shows what real deer recovery work looks like when you’re tracking after multiple searches, and how important it is to trust your dog’s nose and stay professional even when the odds are against you.
