Harold (CNC) I know your have only been tracking for a couple of years, and in the beginning when came to my house I covered several things about tracking. One was you need to get a Garmin Alpha 100, did a short demo. on one of my pups. showed you my freezer and how I put up deer liver and feet. I even took you on a couple of tracks so you could see how I worked my dogs off lead.
I really appreciate you sharing info. with other trackers, but the one thing I covered was that I don`t feed my dogs deer meat,or let them chew on deer legs. When my pups were young (1 yr old) I would live a small piece of deer liver at the end of the track. I want to let very one know don`t give your dog a deer leg and let him eat everything off the bone...you said in a earlier post that Otis you crack the bone open and eat the insides......dogs can get small pieces of bone in their stomach and die from it...google "don`t give your dogs bones to chew on its dangerous. We spend a lot of money on our dogs at least I do and its hard enough to put one to sleep when it has cancer.
This is my 11th year tracking and I have trained some good dogs and have good dogs now as you are aware. Let`s put out good info. out to the others that want to train their pups...Bones will kill theirs dogs just as a deer will kill with their horns.
Hope you are having a good season....I`ve sent you and Mike both several tracks for one reason or the other.
Mabye CNC decided to do things differently. Just because you do things differently doesn't make him wrong.
