We actually think the opposite is occurring. When a fawn is bedded in an area where the dog is able to smell it from a much greater distance (open areas where the breeze moves more steadily), the dog can just follow the scent trail to the fawn. But, in some closed, thick areas where air movement is stifled, the dogs have a very difficult time. They walk all over the fawn but can often not determine exactly where it is. We think that in these situations the odor of the fawn is extremely strong everywhere and the dogs can't work from a weaker to stronger scent source and thus locate the fawn.


seven years of owning and working probably the best drug dog in Alabama I have to disagree with that.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
