I’m not saying that to be smart jwalker…….That’s how I see it happening. The dog is following the deer that is putting out blood and other fluids on the ground. On a normal track where I ‘m there 12-24 hrs after the shot there are just about always gaps in the scent line that the dog has to link together to progress it....we call it working a "check"…..Its not like a solid scent line through the woods….its more like dots and dashes from morse code. Being there on a track within an hour or two allows the dog to smell other scents that make it easier to link those dots and dashes together. However that also increases the chances of dealing with live deer. That's my opinion anyways.

Theres not always blood CNC. But i understand why you keep saying that. Its the only way you can be right. If you took to the time to hear what I’m telling you instead of just jumping to being a peckerhead you would see that is exactly what I’m saying. Being that you have virtually zero experience tracking deer with dogs you define blood as being something that is black and white…..blood/no blood…….When the reality is that this is rarely the case to the dog and its more like what I’m describing with the dots and dashes…..These dots and dashes may be spread out by a yard…….ten yards…..or a hundred yards or more ……The dog may or may not be able to link them together every time because of a number of factors. That’s what you’re not taking the time to hear…..I’m telling you we cant track every deer 12-24 hrs after the shot just because you hit them and lack of blood is why. Sometimes the scent trail just ends..... Most of the time the dog CAN detect a hit at the hit site regardless of what you don’t see but past that it’s a just a matter of being able to link the dots and dashes together. Being there within just an hour or two after the hit gives the dog other scents to help link those dots together.

This was a deer I tracked four or five years ago. You probably wont ever see this too many times but the hunter backwhacked him twice with back to back shots from a 7 mag. He didn’t kill it and we didn’t find it though….His cousin killed it two weeks later in the same plot and this was the pic they sent me. We tracked it the morning after it had been backwhacked twice about the farthest I’ve ever tracked a backwhack….over 700 yards….I think the reason we were able to track this one farther than most is fairly evident by the two big wounds across the deer’s back….This was also a track where there was virtually no blood to be seen the whole way …….Was it because the deer wasn’t bleeding or because we just weren’t able to see the small amount it put out. If Otis was following an interdigital gland scent then why did it peter out at 700 yards…..Did the deer just stop secreting it?.....or did the deer just stop putting out enough blood to track? They need to write someone a ticket for animal cruelty.

then again I have no idea what I am talking about so I should not even be posting. If more people had this thought, there would be no ALDeer.

How does the dog track the "correct" deer, even when there is no visible blood?: When a deer is shot, the stress level causes the interdigital gland to secrete large doses of hormone/scent. This scent is unique to each deer, similar to our fingerprints. The higher the level of stress (mortally wounded) the stronger the scent. Our dogs have been trained to track SCENT- Not just blood. HOWEVER, if the deer is Not mortally wounded, as it calms down, the hormone excreted wii be reduced. After a lot of exposure to tracking, an experienced dog will usually be able to tell the difference between tracking a "dead" deer and one you'll never catch up to. Hence CALL us so that we can gain more experience! Lol Please! Whitetail have numerous scent glands but we only concern ourselves with one. Interdigital gland: Forty-six volatile compounds are secreted by this gland, and the varying evaporation rates mean the smell changes over time. Location: Between the toes.
