Bloodtrail dog available for "rent'

[WildHeritageTaxidermy]

We have a Bloodhound we have trained to blood trail, and with the hunting season upon us, and hearing every year of lost game animals, we have decided to “rent” out Daisy to assist with recovering your animal.

Daisy will blood trail any wounded animal, deer, elk, bear, antelope, ect…. She helped recover some elk last year for a couple hunters. Since then we have spent many more hours in bloodtrail training with Daisy.

 

So if you think you may want to use a blood trail dog to help recover your animal, here are a few things you should know: heat, wind, and time are detriments to a successful recovery, so is a trail that has been trampled to death by hunters and their buddies looking for the animal.

Try to not contaminate the blood trail (walk next to, not on, visible blood) and if after an initial search,(don't wait to long...the shorter the time between when you shoot and when you get the dog to the area the better, within 18 hrs or less) you decide if you want to use the dog, back out and make the call.

 

We will help determine if the conditions are good for a successful recovery, so as not to waste anyone’s time and money. If you have any questions or for more information give us a call.

I would double check with the G and F and make sure it's legal to do that (use dogs to chase wounded game). I thought I remember something about that in the regs. Just FYI

 

I love the idea but don't wanna see anyone get in trouble.

 

If I am wrong my bad but double check

As far as I can tell you can only pursue bears and lions with dogs. And a bunch of small game. But I think dogs are a no no when it comes to any big game other than bears and lions. Even if wounded. You are still pursuing them.

This site says it was outlawed in 2005?

Hmmm I never saw that other post that wasn't answered.

Becker, I spoke with multiple G&F officers before deciding to go ahead with this. There are several "rules" that need to be followed. The dog has to remained leashed at all times, the hunter/tag holder is not allowed to be armed while using the dog to try and recover the game animal, and if at any point it is determined that the animal is only wounded and not dead the hunter must stop trailing with the dog and remove the dog from the area. If any trailing is done on a known wounded animal it is then considered "pursuit" and is illegal.

Good on you for researching before you decided to offer this service. Good luck with your new venture.

You should be busy that's for sure

Just curious. . if you're making any money off the whole thing by renting out your dog to help recover game aren't they gonna make you get a guides license and all that? They make all the guys with mules who wanna pack dead animals already killed out get those licenses so might wanna check on that as well.

[WildHeritageTaxidermy]

Bonecollector777 that part is handled through FS and yes we have talked to them also. I belive we have done our homework and are good to go.

[bonecollector777]

OK cool just throwin that out there if you hadn't looked into it yet. They all want a piece of the pie. .
