airedale Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) I have never used a dog to track a wounded Deer but I have recovered Coyotes and Foxes several times with my dogs. So to be legal for Deer I decided awhile back to take the test for a leashed tracking dog license, took the test this morning and passed it. Also wanted to take the test just to see if I could pass it having trained hunting dogs my whole life. The license is good for 5 years and going to cost $75 and will be basically for personal use if I ever wound one and have to use a dog to recover it legally.

First-light Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Pretty cool. I used my older dog once to track a deer. He was very methodical and I was impressed. Very enjoyable experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Got my License in the mail the other day, I now have to train my dog, the tracking part is no problem. I have an Airedale female that is a heck of a good track dog "unleashed", how she will do tracking while being somewhat restricted on a long lead remains to be seen. She handles so well with just voice commands that I have rarely ever had her on a leash so this is going to be an interesting project.

grampy Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Congratulations Al. I've had my LTDL since 1998. So much fun as you well know, working with a dog to achieve a goal. Your dog can be certified as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
