Also note most blood tracking is done via a leash and not conducted off leash. That does make a difference. While upland hunting I do not ever allow chasing or running of deer. Ever! That is what the e-collar is for. That will stop that. I do allow the occasional rabbit as both of my GWPs will bay if they come onto a rabbit track. But bunny hunting is something we do late season more so during snow. They seem to be more in-tune to what I want to do or what we are after. I hunt Grouse, Woodcock, Pheasant, Prairie Chicken, Sharptail, Quail, Ducks, Geese, have used the dogs to track wounded wild Turkeys lost in a cedar swamp, occasional blood track of whitetail deer, and rabbits.
