Wire Haired Dauchund

OK...So I got my pp smacked by the tracking group. I'm not allowed to say "Thats cause you can't shoot for shit!"
Man, I'm glad I didn't say what I was really thinking.

Thanks for sharing that story with me. It was enjoyable to read. Sometimes you got to make them look in the mirror.

Maxx has slowed down and gained precision in his tracking.
I will say Maxx's tracks were very short due to the heat. Scent dogs do not do well in hot and dry conditions. Maybe that is a factor.

I have heard if you drip saline eyewash into your dogs nose until they start to swallow (just takes a LITTLE bit) it will moisten their nasal passages / remove debris and can help with dry / dusty conditions.

Yes. I practicly force water on Maxx. He drinks out of a bottle (with my finger regulating flow) and I mane sure some gets on his nose as well.

Real Proud Of Maxx Tonight!
Did a track of 2.25 miles and Maxx showed us blood at 2 mi mark. We jumped it up so its alive. High behind the shoulder.
Did I mention stay away from the shoulder?

Good job Maxx and Rick!

Good job Maxx!
There are very few deer I don’t locate with the drone. The few I do not find are almost always reported as “maybe a little high”. Those deer seem to just take a very, very long hike after being hit most often.

I love following along and a 2.25m track. Badass.

My hope for you....

I wish I had a Benjamin for every shoulder shot!
Did I mention: Stay Away From The Shoulder!

We done another today. Lil high and stuck in opposite shoulder. Maxx lined out with 2 miles and we still had spotty blood. Buck went by 6 bedding areas, a dried up cattail swamp and never attempted to bed. Hunter said "I give, its alive" I say be on camera in 3-11 days.

Got called to track a nice buck. Watched video of It all. 350 Legend (I'm 0-10 with) Knocks buck down, it flops and kicks. Barely gets back up, runs off whopper-jawed as hell. Back legs were not in sync with rest of the deer. No blood anywhere and Maxx could almost gave a shit less about the smells...
Research calls it Back-Whack. Extreme top of deer near front leggs. Totally disrupts nervous system and causes temporary paralization. Bang, Flop, and Disappear til next time! Deer Lives.
