[QUOTE="Reloader, post: 536365, member: 2555"] Good tracking dogs are hard to beat. I had a beagle in the 90s named Spot and he was the best I've ever been around. It's amazing how they can smell them hours after the kill. It doesn't matter if there were many deer in the area and no blood in sight, a good dog will follow the wounded animal. After Spot died, we bought another beagle and named him Tracker. He was almost as good as Spot and found many deer before he passed. Tracker was sadly killed by wild dogs about 10yrs ago and I haven't bought another tracking dog since. My wife and I had a 1/2 beagle 1/2 BH as well. She passed about a month back from failing kidneys. I never took her hunting, but she was a darn good lap dog. I suppose my Redbone, Lucille, would track a deer. Bred for coon hunting and have an awesome nose. I may try her out this season if the need arises. Many dogs will blood trail naturally. I trained the beagles very similar to your approach, but I've been around various breeds that would track them w/o any training as well. [/QUOTE]
