Would it be too far to go to the Troy area if we paid for gas, expenses and Otis a hamburger steak? I will next year for sure but for this season I'm trying just to stay close to home. Otis is still really young and just in training mode. He's done well on a couple of tracks but he's also worked a couple like a puppy as well. If you've got a sho nuff hard track then it may be too much for his attention span this year. The last one I put him on, he trailed it good for a little ways and then just decided he'd rather play. Part of being a puppy I suppose. Once him and I both gain some confidence then I don't mind coming that far. What I really need some folks to help me with here at the first of the season is getting him on as many easy tracks as I can. If anyone is hunting alone and needs help getting a deer out of the woods, I'd be glad to come and help just to get Otis some easy finds.

CNC, you may already have your training program figured out, but after seeing their dogs in action, I'd sure give Tom Munoz a call and see if he has any pointers on training them. His dogs are amazing. Good luck with Otis! Here's the website with contact info: www.alabamadeertracking.com/

That breed looks like a Rot crossed with a Black and Tan. It ought to be able to track it, catch it and drag it to the truck. Good luck with your training.

By any chance, does someone know anyone in south Alabama that may have an experienced dog that I could let Otis follow on a track? I think that would do him a lot of good.

Congrats Otis! Nice vest. Thanks!.....Its a little big on him now but he's still got some growing to do. Its rated for 45 lbs to 65 lbs and he's suppose to top out at 55lbs. It should be just right eventually.

Thought I'd give this a bump since its about time for the bucks to come out of hiding in my area. Otis got himself a new GPS tracking collar for Christmas.... so we're ready to go if any of you guys need us.

If you don't already have them, consider getting a lighted collar too. It makes all the difference in the world trying to follow them at night. Another suggestion is to add a small bell, like a goat bell to the collar. This also aides in following them in the dark when they get in the thick stuff and can't be seen. The bell does serve a secondary purpose. Sort of like Pavlov's experiment, when the dog hears that bell come out of the truck, they know it's go time. I witnessed this firsthand. A buddy of mine uses dachshunds to blood trail. When he grabs that collar with the bell, they go nuts.
