If I get my dog in February or March can I use purchased deer blood to start?
Train your dog to track a scent, not just blood. Put them on what you want them to track and go, they will learn the difference. My dog was trained with many different things to trail and I have to trust him, I am colorblind.
Guys I hunt with used to say that he's not following the blood, and he never does, he follows the scent in the air and works a narrowing V pattern to the deer. I have 100% faith in him to trail, he was trained by Randy Devall for this task.

I don’t know for sure if this makes a difference but I think it might.If I kill a deer that runs any distance after being shot I cut off the lower part of the leg and give it to her.
She’ll eat everything down to bare bone-hide,hair and hooves.My theory is she gets the interdigital scent from the hooves.
She has only trailed 1 deer that didn’t bleed and she did a good job,just a little slower than a deer that bled.
I don’t track for the public.No telling how good she might get if I took her on more tracks but I just turned 73 and I don’t feel like going out at midnight,driving all over the country.Besides,it would cut into my hunting time.
