Ally's first blood trail at 14 weeks

An interesting Majestic story.....
I took my Ally girl out this weekend on her first blood trail......I went to one of my favorite hunting spots, and laid a very basic 20 foot trail with deer blood drops about every 1-2 feet...zig-zagged here and there, and had a bloody deer hide at the end.....When I brought her to the area approx. 25 minutes later, I walked her to the first sign of blood.......She stuck her nose down on it and went from drop top drop...when she got to the last drop she advanced forward a couple steps...stopped....put her nose up in the air, then back on the ground...made a sharp left, and jumped on the hide.......we played tug-of-war all the way back to the truck....I was so proud of her......I'll be working with her at least once a week ...gradually lenghtening the trails, stretching the blood further and further apart, and letting the blood trail age longer and longer......9/15 is opening day Archery in MD.....and then she'll get some practice on the real thing....
I'll get some pictures next time to share.
