Something I think that would be nice is to have a list of people that have dogs trained to help recover deer. They could even put it in the hunting guide book. I know I have lost a deer or two and it would have been nice to have a tracking dog to help in the process. What do you guys think?

There is a guy in Decatur who is training a dog. He works very cheap and has found a few deer. His name is John Arnold.

My dogs would eat a venison scrap if I dropped it; that's about as close as it gets.

Good idea. I think someone needs to start a dog leasing service.

We train dogs all year long here in Florida for that,our woods and swamps are to thick just to wander around so we use a dog,usually a cold nosed beagle is best.
We can put him on a walking track on the edge of the road made the night before and trail that deer to where he is at,might take half a day but he will do it.We lose very few deer this way.He will bay for awhile but if you dont get to him he will backtrack his way out and away from the deer.And no you dont use a leash,it just cant be done in these swamps and vines and briars.

That is interesting.
So when he finds the deer he basically says "Here he is. Come and get him" and if you don't right away he says, " I'm going to the house".
The reason for the leash law up here is that we can not use dogs to hunt deer with.
We've had this law for about 4 or 5 years now. The same year that they legalized the use of the dogs to recover deer they made it illegal to use the heat sensing devices to locate downed deer. Silly, but true..

That`s a good point you make Woody-we`re thinking of going to a tele-check in for deer, assuming that cheaters will cheat anyway, that most guys won`t, but we can`t use the heat sensing units to help recover deer, I suppose assuming everyone who had them would cheat and track healthy deer to shoot. |

Sounds silly but yea its true,If he bays long enough and you cant get to him,say maybe a square mile of palmetos and blackberry vines and he is in the middle,he will soon leave and head back.you know it right then too,all baying or barking will stop.
