re: Deer Blood Tracking Dog

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.
