Missouri Deer Tracking

PURE JOY!

About a year ago, this boy and his family came to buy a tracking dog. The little boy burst through the house, straight to the puppy pen and gathered the entire litter.

These are 3 week old European Wirehaired Dachshund puppies. When they are 4 months old they can recover a deer.

Tracking is fun! Our dogs help hunters recover their deer. We keep deer from going to waste, and make hunters happy.

This is a track that I'll always remember. After a decade of tracking I knew that this buck was recoverable, and if I know that a buck is recoverable, I'm unrelenting.

The hunter shot the buck in the morning and I arrived on my 3rd track of the day late in the afternoon. The hunter told me that the buck had lost lots of blood. I tracked to a bloody bed and not far after that the hunter wanted to call the track. I could have collected my pay, but I'm unrelenting on recoverable deer, so I proded the hunter on.

We came to a couple more beds and the buck was still bleeding, and my dog was hot when the hunter called the track. The next morning the hunter called me and told me that he found the buck 50 yards from where we stopped the track. I wanted that recovery, but was glad that I put the hunter on his buck.
