Thanks for the suggestions. I had already figured the best experience was going to come from getting him out there in the woods. I have mixed feelings on training him with or without blood. I understand that some wounded deer may not leave a blood trail and I see where that would be a downfall if you trained him with blood. However if you do not train with blood I can see where he could get on the wrong deer and lead you on a wild goose chase.
