re: Deer Blood

Is the deer hide from Dog Bone any good to start working with?

This with their scent works just fine, also save the blood from packs of deer meat as well. Go to the butcher shop and get some beef liver to start the pup on once or twice to gain that interest.

The key is to train them on all of it, interdigital, blood, dandruff from hair, they have to be able to be able to put it all together. Interdigital scent is only on the ground when the hoof touches the ground. What if the deer makes a big jump across a fallen tree top ? There may be a speck of blood, some guts, some hair, they can connect the dots.
