i aint the only one on this thread who brought up the FB thing, I'm sure there's quit a few others that feel the same as me who hasn't commented, I wish you good luck all the same, sounds like an interesting website.

Thx. There are several people in the group via their wife or kids accounts like the guy mentioned above. The other trackers in this post and myself will be glad to help, or find help for anyone needing a tracker. You can also go to Unitedbloodtrackers.org. There is a state by state list there as well. It's not as many listed but it would still benefit a lot of people, especially those that have no connection to Facebook.

Thumbs up to Brandon for great job compiling a comprehensive list and making it easily available. Next step is an "Uber" like cell phone app. See who is on duty and in the area, request specific breeds, automatically put fees on cell phone, sky is the limit.

I've always enjoyed learning every thing I can from a track, be it mine or someone else's. Any way that I can read about the tracking stories and every little detail is great. Be it forums,telephone,word of mouth,Facebook,magazine articles, books, TV or smoke signals. Thanx, Brandon.

Wow now that would be cool.

Thanks brandon

Are you referring to Mississippi? As far as the blood trailing networks go we are only second to Mississippi. I didn't know if you were referring to another group in Georgia that I wasn't aware of.

Oh, I wasn’t referring to the Facebook groups specifically….just tracking in general. Georgia has WAY more trackers over there than what we do. It’s growing in popularity here though.

Here you go....check out their forum list. They have around 65 just on this list. Until recently we had like 20-25 maybe.

Ok. That's something different. I didn't know that forum existed. (And we actually had more listed last year than his year. I lost 6 this year and only gained about 3-4 new guys)

Mike and I have threads going on there that show some of last year's recoveries in GA. I'm rvick on GON's forum.

Did they delete your thread over there?

Should be under deer hunting. Tracking dog success on first page. Reba is batting 1000. She just recovered a 6 hr. old gut shot. Hunter said left, she went right, off lead and was laying with her head resting on the deer's neck when we got there. Meat still good. I asked $50 min., he gave me $100.

I'll look again but I think it disappeared.


That's awesome on the track It's dang sure hot out there to be tracking. Are you using your Garmin Alpha with her?

Wonder why they would have deleted it?

They’ve got all kinds of rules over there. It doesn’t seem like it’s nearly as laid back as this forum….don’t do this….don’t do that….you’re using too much bandwith….you’re posting videos wrong…yada, yada….They have a rule that even says you can’t post anything in another language and if you do it must be also be translated…What? Is this a big issue. No entiendo ese.

If I had to guess I bet they deleted because they considered it to be “picture storage”. If they were going to do that though, it looks like they would delete the other tracker’s threads too.

Hey trackncur......Have you started using your Garmin Alpha now to track off lead?

I'm just now starting to introduce Shelby to it. I've been letting her wear it as we go for walks and I'm about to start teaching her what the beep means. I'd like to let her follow me and Otis later in the season.

You got the birds eye view downloaded on yours, it makes a big difference

Yeah, I downloaded it but don’t use it. I don’t really like it that much. It makes the background so dark that I have a hard time seeing my dog icon and the trail behind it. The pictures are like 10-15 years old too. I just use the basic screen now. It shows the roads and creeks, etc and that’s the main things I need to see. Besides that I just need to be able to see Otis’s icon and trail so I can follow in behind him.

What I would like to have is a recent aerial picture of where I’m about to track. I’ve got a kindle and I’m gonna see if I can’t use it for that purpose. There were several tracks last year where I came back home and looked at Google Earth only to think….Man, I wish I would have known that’s how the land laid when I was there.
