Wow, he’s a machine! Congrats too you both, Rick!

 

[Jamie]

HE DID IT!
Just ran a dandy 1300 yd track with 1/2 the blood I should be using. 18.5 hours old. Maxx ran it fast and flawless.
His Drive Is Priceless!

So I take it you managed to stay the hell out of his way?

seriously, though, congrats to Team Maxx. Nice work. Nothing more pleasing than having a talented dog living up to and exceeding expectations.

Great team ! One has the desire & drive. The same one has the looks as well.....

Too Funny You'd Say That! When he puts his mind to it... that's all I can do is get out of the way and dodge branches!

Great update on Maxx’s progression Rick. Hims destined to be a Legend

We pull in for Maxx's morning run. I see 2 fawns playing in our path~~Maxx does not see them. He alerted to smells in that area, but kept on in direction of our trail.
Amazes me how they want a deer so bad, but stay on the trail they are on....
Any Critter sightings are another story. I get the "Hold on Dad, gon' get that Sombitch" Then back to tracking...

 

[xbowguy]

Just came back to freshen the trail for a fiend to run. The twins were still here hangin out.

Does Maxx hate squirrels too?

Squirrels, Rabbits, Groundhogs and Birds.

 

[Buckmaster]

Same here. Must be something regarding New Yorkers.

Squirrels, Rabbits, Groundhogs and Birds.

And Giles. I heard he isn't a fan of Giles either.

And Giles. I heard he isn't a fan of Giles either.

He's an asshole. But even an asshole has a use.

The first time Maxx said that I was taken back. But it is true.

 

[xbowguy]

This morning was right at 1500 yds. Track was 20 hrs old...And we ran it in the rain. Maxx hates the rain to start with, but he kept on it to the end. Gooboy!

I can’t wait to shoot one through the guts so I can see Maxx in action again!

 

[xbowguy]

I can’t wait to shoot one through the guts so I can see Maxx in action again!

And I look forwards to bringing Maxx down. Mason and I plan on doing a video this year. You fellas should not even question the thought..... just call us!

 

[xbowguy]

On that thought.... If the Good Lord made anything better than finding a deer for a TOO Member.... He darn sure kept it for himself!

 

[xbowguy]

Today's Track was epic. Not too fast, not too slow, he kept at it and next thing I know.... we were at the end. (800 yds)
One more track tomorrow and we ready for testing.
Hoping he has a great day Tuesday.
Ain't lying....Dad is anxious and nervous.

 

[xbowguy]

DO NOT EVEN WANT TO POST THIS...
Maxx fell on his face and it may be my fault.
Bottom line we got to the test, he fell on his face and wanted to walk around and fuck off... On the third try the judge called it.... And to be honest I really don't blame him, I was quite embarrassed.
I had the same judge as the test that Maxx ran flawless.
Bottom line...we failed level 2.
Judge recommended: That I use 29' of my lead and respectfully "Shut the fuck up!"...
Seems that I have tried to be encouraging to my dog and he became dependent on my words versus the track.
He claims it's a very common issue and it's easy to fix...but right now is sure hurts....

Knowing when to intervene and when to just let them go and trust them is a hard thing to understand. You will figure it out. Over-handling a dog is very easy to do, and I did it badly with Lefty. Slick is a better dog because of what I did not do when he was a pup and still learning.

If you were a seasoned trainer than it’d be on you. There’s a huge learning curve for the both of you, let the sting subside, move on and learn from it. He’ll get it the next time!
How soon can you retest?
