    Leashed Blood tracking dog.

    in Big / Small Game

    That is a long ways for that shot!

     

    Any idea if it was bumped before you started tracking?

     

    I shot a doe last week and I almost reached out to you. High entry, no exit, only a few drops of blood. I left her overnight and luckily I found her within 100 yards the next day.

     

    I assume the lack of blood is irrelevant for a dog?

    Yes I believe it was bumped by coyotes the dog was bristled up and could smell them. It back tracked on itself too. Also when he found the deer he was air checking and growling.. they were close by.

    The lack of blood for the dog is relevant but he tracks on more than just blood. The one huge advantage of the dog is to extend the blood trail. I like to have one person stay on the blood and we move that person up each time we confirm blood but still have them actively looking. Thus we can always go back to last blood if the dog is distracted by a live deer. Also i use the on-x app to aid with this if i only have one person.

     

    Good job on your track BTW

    John helped me find my son's first bow buck a bunch of years ago.  I still think of your dog and can still see her perk up when she winded the buck!
    That was a great day! That's the great part of tracking getting to meet great guys n gals that just want to accomplish the seemingly impossible. At the least we give some closure to the question wounded or dead.

    Thx, we are a free service if I'm available I'll try to help. Just love working with the dog. Little background on him he's the Texas state dog and a mix of and English blue collie, grey hound and coyote. They use them to run hogs, coyote, and track deer. They also have great herding instincts. Check him out on FB

    smelt on Cayuga

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Have not had time to post about Bear's derby a few weeks ago. We got a fair number of fish but none the size we needed.. It was fun to play in the waves. Of interest to me was the fact that one of the fish I kept to eat had 4 smelt and a goby in its gut. Anyone else see the smelt returning?     Wes 
    That's cool, nice to see a variety of bait in any lake. Was the fish you caught shallow?

    "Catfished" on a Hunting Property

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    I have been a land owner for 18 years. The first year I went around and talked to neighbors and to whom ever was on the property. I approached them in a professional way saying that the property they had permission on was now off limits because of our new ownership and for safety sake I couldn't let them hunt there. I've never posted the lines with the ugly yellow signs. Since then I've only had one trespasser.
    I believe that we as hunters should be on the same page, whatever you can do to be a better neighbor do it. Whatever you can do to make hunters look good to non hunters, do it.
    NY taxes suck. I understand why the guy posted his signs.The way he handled it without giving any respect to other hunters maybe wasn't the best solution, well I hope he dosen't have to track a deer onto his neighbors.

    What percentage coyote is he? Interesting mix. Probably helps tracking deer.
    I don't know the % of coyote if any or if it was (grey wolf) theory... The breed isn't recognized by any organization but here is a copied piece from Wikipedia. It would be interesting to do a DNA analysis but I can tell you this dog is way more intense than any I have had before. He cones very fast and in large semi circles. Which I'll take away from him with a leash. It'll be interesting reading him.. can't wait to do a real blood trail.. Screenshot_20200912-091545_Google.jpeg

    Breed is a blue lacy from Texas, this is my second blood tracking dog, he's a pup but he shows incredible potential.
    He is a special breed that tracks, bays, and herds. English collie, grey hound, coyote mix. They usually run em with gps and they will bay up a wounded deer, hog, yote, whatever. I'll be running him with a leash.. He's fast and has a great nose.
    His name is Zed, "if ya think it's dead call Zed"

    Wait silvers making a comeback AND lots of young walleye around!  Hmm haven't we been told over and over the walleye don't reproduce AND the comeback of the silver is because there are no walleye?   Anyone still really believe the "walleye reproduction studies"  I'm not at all against the beautiful silver and hope they continue to manage the lake as a trout lake.   The walleye will be there no matter how it's managed.... just be nice if everyone had the facts.  Nice to see everyone having such a good time with both trout and walleye!  Nice fish John!   
    The bait is as thick as I've ever seen it on Owasco, crazy but those eyes we caught were in 165 fow. There is lots of room for more predators on that lake and Seneca.. Glad not to see any lamprey, where as Seneca is filthy with them. Balance is key, each will cycle though..
    I'm gonna make a point to hit Otisco this year for eyes..
    Justin I have a new dog for tracking down deer. He's looking good for the upcoming season...[emoji106]
