I would love to see the dog in action. With a deer having a nose as good as a dogs, this should put to bed all you scent control guys, argument about controlling scent. 24 hrs later and after a rain, and the dog was still able to track the deer. You can't defeat those kind of abilities. Tom and Jackie told me the rain is helpful. I guess a total flood would wash it out but a shower helps the dogs. Kinda like when the air is humid and heavy deer smell you quicker than when the air is dry and light. I know deer can smell really well, but I don't for a minute believe they can smell as well as a cold nosed hound. Deer have 297 million olfactory receptors in their nose, dogs have 220 million. http://www.imbmonsterbucks.com/info.php?id=243 Do olfactory receptors work the same in deer versus dog? I guess my question is a dog keener on some smells and deer on others? Are smells all the same? More times than I care to count or remember I had deer cross the trail I've walked to my stand and not be alarmed whatsoever. But I bet a man tracking bloodhound would have treed me ,no problem. Not sure about that, although a bloodhound is trained to trail a mans scent. Correct , and a deer is conditioned and / or born, to be alarmed, and run like the wind.
