Wow Wildlands!!! You dont go halfhearted do you. Thereare no better trackers for lost deer that I have heard of. I really like Schweissdogs ever since their breed club helped organize the field trial I did with my terrier. The judge claimed it was sort of a custom to lead a tiny tiny blood trial for the pup to follow to the mothers milk.That gang was as serious as any I have ever known when it comes to tracking. Training the dogs on week old tracks, frozen, following a highly trafficated road for some hundred meters, scent trails made with a spraying bottle with only a few strains of deer hair in water etc etc. Training themselves too. Never before have I metsomeone who from a few brokenhairs could correctly call wherea deerwas hit. Even ifI and my terrier is nowhere near these experts he sure is a lot better than most of humanity.
Very nice home page and I sure hope people will realize the benefit of your services. It is not only a responsible act of hunting but it i also a true pleasure to see a good equipage at work.

Im from Sweden to narrow things down (maybe If I say Norma people will know). We hunt different animals in different ways. Some dogs ( labradors, german pointers and terriers)will simply follow any animala few hundred meters and others will slowly hang in for ideally an hour. Then we use dachshounds or other small dogs. Cant put a big dog after a deer for long. It would be to stressful for the deer. Almost only roe deer is hunted like that. Shotguns with US 3 and no longer range than 25 to 30 meters. Combination guns wit one or two shotgun barrels and one rifle barrel.
Moose and wild boaris sometimes hunted with a dog that occupies the animal long enough for a stalk. Also bear and badgers are prone for this as they are more likley to stand their ground.

Dog hunting is fun!!!
