re: German Sheperds trailing wounded deer

I have a 5 year old GSD and part of Schutzhund training is tracking, there's three parts- Obedience, tracking and protection. They track very well and I have seen very few that tire easily. With that being said, they do not handle heat well. Early September hunts in the swamp area of LS could be tough. Using a GSD later in the season when it is cool to cold would work well. Always wondered about using GSD's to hunt. Saw an article of an elk hunter that only used GSD's for tracking. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
