Deer blood

[b-stick]

Anyone have access to some deer blood or a source?

I had several vials in the freezer until we lost the fridge and freezer. Would like to get ahold of some so I can tune the pup up prior to the season.

Thanks

I've seen three dead ones on the side of the road but they were swole up real good. I can send you their locations if you want me to.

Wow.

I truly never thought about that.

That isn’t sarcasm either. Appreciate it. You are the only decent fella on this thread. The rest are useless.

I could be wrong, but I think he's trying to raise Marie Laveau.

i don’t worry about using any scents, the dog gonna smell where you’ve been anyway. just get the dog tracking you or anything. the more it uses it’s nose the better it gets.

We started that first then moved to 8-10’ pole with a drag line tied off.

She found a few by herself last year that was shot with a bow and rifle.

The first couple, I helped her a little.

I think I might have a container of old deer liver cubes in the freezer. If they’re still there they undoubtedly have freezer burn, but I can that one and see if any blood comes out.

I have been told to train dogs to trail deer based on the scent from a gland between their toes. But I admit I don’t know much at all about trail dogs.

[Palmetto Bug]

In the European blood tracking trials, they put down the scent trail with a hide drag, some occasional dribbled blood and they have boots or ski poles with deer lower legs attached to make the interdigital gland scent trail. They try to use areas where live deer are likely to come out to confuse the trail. Then they let it sit for 20 hours before they put the dogs on it.

I was told that it is important to get all your deer parts from the same deer so they learn to stay on that particular deer's scent and not break off on any fresher trail. My little dog will ignore deer she jumps while tracking a bleeding deer. Even with no visible blood, she has been able to sort out which deer to track from among the half dozen that ran out of the field after the shot. My suspicion is that the wounded deer's breath makes a trail that the dog can discern.

You can use a baitcasting rod with braided line as an easy way to make a track. Dribble blood on the spool and then lay down the track with a line trail to the prize at the end. The rod helps make the track not exactly on your foot path and the line also will cut corners where you didn't walk. I don't worry too much about confusing the dog with my track because they will have to sort that out on a real trail. You will often deploy the dog after people have tried to find a deer and given up.

Is there any real difference between deer, cow, pig, and human blood? Do you really need deer blood for the tracking training? Just curious.
