I shot a doe and put my new trail dog on it Saturday. She had no idea what she was trailing but my other dog showed her that is was something to be excited about.

Very nice! Bow kill?
I am a nobody, that met somebody, that can save anybody.
Nope, rifle. First kill for my 6.5 Grendel AR.
I'm going to try to use every one of my tags this year to give the pup as many trail jobs as possible.

How did the Grendel do? SST's?
What kind of dog is that
Yep 123 gr SSTs. I took a lung shot in hopes she'd run a ways but she didn't make it 30 feet before piling up. I had to drag her around to make a trail for the pup. When I pulled the deer up on the ATV, she leaked quite a bit.
She's a Teckel, which is a very closely bred wirehaired Dachshund.
Cool dog.
low heart shot leaves a good blood trail and they will run a ways
I shot a doe with the bow yesterday hoping to get a real blood trail. Made a bad shot and dropped her in her tracks. I had to drag her through the woods to make a trail. This was Chloe's fourth tracking job and she has decided it's the most fun thing in the world.
Last week I put her back on a trail of a deer she found the night before. The track was nineteen hours old but she tracked it like it was new.

Cool stuff rite cheer!!
hell yea. I need to train my girls dog for that.
I must say - that's pretty amazing.
Is she tracking just the blood or the deer scent?

There really wasn't a lot of blood spilling out but the scent trail was probably still too strong. A dragged deer leaves a heck of a lot more scent than one walking on its pointy feet. Eventually, they are supposed to be able to track an individual deer and stay on it even while crossing fresher tracks from live deer. The interdigital gland scent is unique to each deer. In tracking field trials, they make the trails by clamping the hooves of a deer to their boots or ski poles and dribble a little blood here and there along the way.
"Made a bad shot and dropped her in her tracks" right here is something you don't see on a huntin forum! Cool dawg.
We gave you Corn,you gave us clap,bad trade.
Very cool. Do you worry at all about something getting ahold of her since she is so small?
I stay pretty close and have my shorthair close by. I worry more about coyotes getting her on Sullivan's Island than in the woods. I personally know of a couple dogs that were killed by coyotes on Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms. One was a Brittany, not that small of a dog.
I haven't caught a live snake to use to snake break her yet. She's damn fond of water and has no fear of anything so far. I need to show her one and light her up with the collar to at least teach her to avoid them if she sees them first.
