this got me thinking. i have been fortunate to recover all my deer after some extensive searches, time,  effort, grid searches, etc.  However if i ever needed help, it would be nice to have the info handy if the time ever arises where i need a dog.  Is there a website or a list of ones available by area? I hunt in the 3N area.

If you need Deer search in northern Westchester and the lower Hudson valley contact Marc Niad. He and his dog Dakota are amazing. They have tracked for me a few times and they found my deer every time. 

When in doubt give Marc a shout! He's a nice guy and knows what he's doing.

Call 914-434-1231

Listen guys this isn't my first hunt I'm only asking incase it comes to that. Iv never had use dogs befor but iv heard there are services. Don't jump to conclusions about another hunters abilities. I was just asking. I was going to let her sit over night and hit it in the early am anyways. I was frozen to the bone today. Either way thanks for the input

OP, blood trailing dogs are a good option if you can't find your quarry.  There is no required wait time on calling in those dog teams, but most leashed dog trackers would want to know that there was at least some effort put into tracking by the hunter, which it sounds like you have.

 

Deer Search is the main volunteer group in NY that does this sort of thing.  Their website and contact info is here: Deer Search.

Anyone who works with their group must have been certified in the NYS leashed tracking dog program.  However, not all certificants are members of Deer Search (nor are they required to be).  

Contact Deer Search for help.  If they can't help, feel free to send me a PM with your point of contact.  I have my NYS leashed tracking dog permit and would be more than happy to drive out and help you (I'm out of Rochester).  My dog is still learning the ropes, so I can't promise anything, but I'll provide what assistance that I can.

Wish I had seen this a little earlier padre86, I contacted 3 numbers only one guy got back to me. He was busy, I searched all day yesterday until I had to come home so my wife could work. I even scouted the corn fields with my drone.... last night it snowed I figured the scent n blood is gone...

If this ever happens again I will reach out to you, thank you. I spent 80+ dollars on the primos blood tracker HD at cabelas today...

Yeah, sorry I didn't catch this post sooner.  Unfortunately, at this point I don't know if the meat is still good, or if coyotes may have gotten at it.  

I'm not familiar with Deer Search other than having heard of them.  I couldn't tell you how many trackers they have in this area and what their availability is.  If you find yourself in the same situation in the future, definitely feel free to reach out to me.   Some people on here were giving you grief for looking for help too quickly....unfortunately that kind of attitude is not helpful when you're trying to recover a wounded animal and hours count.  I imagine there are other certified trackers on here too who can help.
