Had you read the recovery thread at the top of the page. Maryland allows the use of tracking dogs and I know the breeder I got my dog from trails for people in Maryland. Had you even consider utilizing a tracker and his dog? They are usually free of charge and these trackers usually embrace the training for their dogs. Check out the United Blood Trackers link available in the recovery thread at the top of the page. Some dogs have been known to recover game 48-72 hours old.
