WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Received a call yesterday from our local G&F manager, he was helping a hunter try to recover his elk, and was looking for any dogs that could bloodtrail. We told him we had a bloodhound and we have used her before to trail wounded game. We told him he was welcome to come get her and see if she could find the hunters elk. We didn't know if Daisy would work for a stranger so we were on pins and needles all afternoon and evening waiting to hear if she had found it. Finally at 7:12 pm Heather got this text "We just got the elk out, Dasiy found him, she was awesome, thanks a ton." Don't know the hunters name, but, glad we were able to help, congratulations on your bull! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys are amazing 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesRanger Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Well that is another business for you, I wasnt sure of you were allowed to bring in a dog to help track blood and recover your bull. I will definately keep you in mind in the ffuture nothing worse than losing a bull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Fantastic! Far less animals would be lost if recovery methods like this were more commonly use! Way to go Daisy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Very cool! I've always thought my mutt would run right up a blood trail, but not to sure if he would. Now, a bloodhound... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chico Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Nice, hunter was able to recover his trophy. Have seen dogs used on hunting channel in the bush on hunts in Africa to recover game. Plus 1 on letting Game Officer use your dog, class act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bullelk11 Report post Posted September 21, 2013 That's awesome. Couple years ago myself and my dad archery hunting on kiabab he shot a real nice buck looked for it all morning no luck there was an outfitter up there who had dogs but he told us they couldn't be used to track wounded game we looked for two days no luck good to know I have that option now Congrats on a good lookin bull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted September 21, 2013 Awesome! I believe it's legal to use a dog to track to a dead animal. But I think there is a problem with carrying a weapon while tracking the animal because then you are using the dog to aide in take if you find the animal alive and put a killing shot on it. Did you get any clarification like that from the WM? would be nice to share with everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
