Ally's second blood trail......
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 12:27 am
I realize this isn't the normal topic on the BIG Game Houndsman forum.... but I'm hoping to find some locals that might want to give my girl a chance this year at finding their "uncovered" deer kill.......and I want to share this with the Majestic houndsman out there....We're still in the very early stages of training....My 16 week old Ally girl conquered her second blood trail like a pro......In rubber boots to conceal human scent, I laid out a 40 foot trail in the woods..drips every foot or so.........zig zagging and s curving.......let it sit for still just a half hour.....still a fairly basic trail......When it was time to load up and go find daddy's deer, I let her smell the blood on my fingers from when I put out the hide, and she went crazy....
Upon arrival she beat me out of the truck......a short walk to the beginning of the trail and she took off.....
She literally covered the trail in 15 seconds to get her deer hide reward at the end.......I almost had to pry it from her mouth.......
Training is going great so far............
