RE: Deer Dog Question
i dont think its legal in ohio but im not sure, i would venture to say a blood hound if trained right due to there noses, or maybe a chesepeak or lab it has to be tracker not a pointer.

RE: Deer Dog Question
I think any dog would be OK at tracking a down deer. Of course some are better than others but sporting dogs, those who are used to running the woods and feel at home there would probably be even better. I also think they would pick up the scent of a down deer naturally. I had a friend a few yrs. ago that brought his house dog (collie/sheppard mix) into the Maine woods in search of a nice buck he failed to find. Less than an hour later, the deer was hanging in his barn thanks to his dog.

My best was a walker. She had a good cold nose and stayed on the same deer instead of finding fresh tracks and taking off.
Be careful, around here you have to keep them on a leash when tracking wounded/killed game.
Beagles work well too. My friend uses a fiest.
I'd get a hunting pup and train him from 6 weeks old until forever.
Good luck.

RE: Deer Dog Question
Get a beagle and give it deer hides/legs to play with and even make it little trails to fallow. Why feed a big dog when you can feed a little one. You may even be able to buy a trashy dog off a rabbit hunter and use it (on a leash!!!!!).
