Just to give a heads up on them, They are not paid to do what they do they are dedicated people doing it just to help the hunters out. Most are hunters themselves.Remember you Have to get the land owners permission for them to go on that property and search for a deer or bear.The dogs they use are there own personal dogs which they purchase with there own funds,Deer Search Inc. helps in the training of the dogs.They have to pass a test given by the NYS DEC  to get a license.

If you call them to find a deer or bear and if they find it or not just give them a Tip for showing up something that you can afford.

I know because I am a past member, can't go on any more searches because of a bad heart at 72 years old.

Deer Search is a great group. They do need better funding.

 

Problem is they don't have enough coverage in the state/area sometimes.

I've had to call them just once and Man they were great! we searched 2 days and he lived pretty far away..I gave a 100.00 donation even though we never got the buck...and still say it was worth every penney for a ton of reasons....We went through the nastiest stuff...I lost a phone ...he poked a pretty nasty hole in his leg and I have no idea how his dog managed getting through those swamps on his tiny little legs and in pouring rain to boot...I wish my budget had afforded more!
