Doe for the freezer
BowEd:
Yes Pappy the law here says the dog needs to stay on a leash to trail blood deer here too.One thing a houndman learns about his hounds is that he has hunted for a while with success is to trust what he or she is saying and what he or she is showing you.It's a partnership.You do your job and I'll do mine.
Pappy:
Yes that is very true Ed and probably the hardest part to understand, had some other buddies that wanted a tracking dog, when we went out on a track they would try and lead the dog where they thought the deer went instead of trusting the dog and by doing that it usually didn't turn out well.It sometimes take a while, several tracks but once the dog figures out what you want, the wounded deer, not just any deer then you have to trust them and go where they say not where you think they should go.They just amaze me once they get that figured out. :)

BowEd:
You bet their an asset.That's a case where the dog or hound is smarter than it's owner.These hounds educate people too.
Pappy:
Yes they have taught me a lot about tracking, even if they aren’t with me I remember things they did. Pappy
BowEd:
Patience with guidance is what humans can give dogs.In turn they give things back that we can't duplicate.Nothing more devoted than a dog.
