got me a bloodhound- tips on tracking

[Steven McBee]

last week my family bought a bloodhound and i want to teach it how to track wounded deer and look for sheds, i already have 3 bottles of deer blood from my doe frozen in the freezer, now can anyone give me tips on how to teach him to track?

just take a walk through the woods, and about every 5-10 ft squirt a lil blood on the ground. make it look like a real bloodtrail. then take some deer hair or some blood (off an arrow, or hair from the ground) and let the dog smell it. show him the start of the bloodtrail and off he goes!!!

I would get a dummie and some deer scent, put some of the scent on the dummie and drag it through the yard and get the pup on the trail and see if he can find the dummie. I supose a rag would work just as well.

I don't mean the pee scent there is a spray that smells like deer
