re: Deer Blood Tracking Dog

My only advice is to go on every track you can. I have a 15+ year old lab hound mix. When she could go she was amazing. I would take her to track a deer laying in the middle of the patch just to have a good result. All my family and buddies knew to wait on the dog even on obvious tracks. She found every one. She found a whole bunch we never would’ve. If the deer was dead she would find it. I wouldn’t even look for blood. I’d just let her out. I’ve seen her catch yearlings to 8 points. Amazing dog that has earned her retirement.
