I would like to train one of my three dogs for tracking a wounded deer. Has anyone had good success tracking with dogs? I have a beagle, Lab, and a Lab/teerier mix. Which one would be best?Any advice on training?
I agree with you 100%. I am just saying that the state may not see it the same way we do. I honestly don't think that a game warden would fine you for doing it, unless he is a newbie straight out of school. That dog your friend had sounds like one heck of a dog. It is wonderful thing when a man, and an animal can work together in perfect sync. Tonymofarmboy said:we are well aware of the game laws but when it comes down to recovering the deer or letting the coyotes get it the decision is a simple one. i have personally never had to use the dog but i have been along on some tracking expeditions.this dog has found at leats a half dozen deer that would would have been otherwise lost. we're talking no bloodtrail strictly scent. this was truely an exceptional dog and as i said he died this past summer and there are no plans to train another.
good luck this season!
Hmmm.....really. :crazy: I thought they were bred to hunt rabbits....and were often "side tracked" chasing deer, by mistake. :nod:Nito said:you dont need to learn a Beagle to track dear, that´what they are bred for.
