What are your thoughts on using a dog to track wounded deer?

If legal in your state and you have control of the dog,It could only help recover more deer.

it is the way to go. I have two cold nose blood trail beagles,(I realy have seven but only two to work on a rope).they can smell what you can't see.I have hunters from all around my area call me to come help find deer.I would say I find 98% of what I look for.the other 2% are bad hits and the animal doesn't die or it is the next day.
it gives yiu a good feeling to find one no one else can.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

I don't use a dog to track, but I believe it is legal here although you can't use a dog to run the deer. I think that if it helps to find wounded deer, then it is a good thing.

I see nothing wrong with using a dog. I had rather do that than walk up on a dead deer after it had spoiled where someone lost it.

I dont know if it is legal here, but I think it should be legal everywhere, it would help recover a lot of deer.

I think it's a great idea.

I wish I had a tracking dog. I have been on several unsuccessful deer tracking trips with some friends and family members. Everytime I said "If only we had a tracking dog." I don't know if it is legal here or not, but I don't know if it would really matter to me. The ethical thing to do is find the wounded or dead deer.

I think it would be great I'm just not sure what the GW would think.
