IF you use a leash , make it a 50 foot tracking lead, not a short six footer. You can let go of it and move around stuff to pick the lead up again. Put a bell and some orange on the dog.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

ive trained 20-30 deer dogs, and i have used them for tracking too, but how do you keep your tracking dogs from running a deer? One of the methods I use to train a pup to discriminate is by laying the training track late in the afternoon on the edge of a field that you know deer will visit during the night. In the morning if the pup tries to follow a healthy/hot track into the woods or out into the field, then just give it a firm correction. It won't take long for it to get the message. A dog that messes with healthy deer can never make a serious tracker.

I've got an English Springer Spaniel (field bred) coming in a few weeks, he will be 7 weeks old. Here is how I plan on training him, based on what I've read over the past few months.
FEEDBACK FROM THOSE WITH EXPERIENCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED HERE AS I AM NEW TO THIS :
- I have 14 vials of deer blood I took during deer season. They are in my deep freeze
- I've got 26 deer hooves (below knee down) frozen
First I plan on thawing a hoof or two and letting him play with them ... getting him accustomed to the word 'deer' being used to refer to them.
Next I'll use the hooves to teach him retrieval skills. I toss it, he returns it to me ... "Get the deer Charlie!"
After he's got all that down I'll start hiding the hooves then drop a few drops of blood every 5 yards or so in a trail to the hoof. The put some blood on a clean cloth and let him smell it. "Get the deer Charlie!". Lead him to the first drops in the trail then the rest if I need to. When he gets to the end of the trail he gets rewarded with the hoof. I'll let him gnaw on it and play with it for a while.
As he gets accustomed to finding the blood spots and ending up with the hoof I'll start putting the blood spots farther and farther apart ... again "Get the deer Charlie!"
Hopefully that's all I'll need to do, like I said FEEDBACK WILL BE APPRECIATED if you have experience doing this type of training

Mr. John is a friend & he is just finishing up the third edition of his book & it will be available very soon. it will have all the info of the previous books, plus. I have an extra copy of one of the first editions that always fell apart, but it is autographed so I will keep it.

I'm interested ... Who is "we"? Sorry, We are a network of mostly Ga. based trackers. This event will be headed by Jerry Russell. Most of us are United Blood Trackers members who couldn't make it to Track-Fest in Texas this year. Should be a good time & lots of great info, tho we won't be doing any certifications, we will have tracks laid.
