Would you rather frame a house with a eastwing hammer or a nail gun?? I’m guessing you’d choose the nail gun because it’s the superior tool for the job correct??

I look at tracking dogs pretty much the same way. It’s a far superior tool for finding deer than a human. That combined with the knowledge of someone who tracks 100 deer a year makes for a much higher probability for recovery. Folks just want to find the buck they shot and they recognize that they stand a far better chance by calling in a tracker with a dog. A lot of calls I get just want me for sort of like an insurance policy. They’ve shot that big one and its more than worth it to them to bring in a tracker to insure a recovery. They don’t care about trying prove themselves to others as being a “worthy tracker” themselves. They just want to find their deer.
