That is a totally different thing. We are not talking about using dogs to RUN deer. There are some cases where you need a dog to track lost and wounded animals EVEN the one's shot with rifles. You'd be surprised how quick an animal can dissappear and leave no blood trail. That goes for the one's that are hit hard too. If it takes an animal 100 yrds to start bleeding for whatever reason, the odds are that animal will be lost. ANY thing that can help hunters recover wounded animals is a valuable tool and worth it.
