Old, I once shot and lost a big buck while hunting, it got to dark to find it. I was able to track it to a very large swamp. It was to late to attempt the swamp. I went in but soon lost the blood trail. With my dog 40+ miles away I decided to tackle the swamp the next morning. I loaded up my dog, she was half Pitt bull 1/4 Rott,1/8 German shepherd,1/8 collie... I do like mixed dogs. She was a very smart family dog. she was about 2 years old at the time.
I went back to the place I shot it. I put her on the track, I tracked it along with her. I kept asking her where'd it go? Soon she was tracking it on her own. with me behind her. I knew she was on the track because of the tracking I had done the night before. She made every step right, She was tracking it like a pro.
We hit the big swamp, right where the buck had entered. We were going through the thickest thicket. I had her on a lead. We went though at least two other peoples land and then into a third owners land. We were still in the same swamp. She took me to the wide heavy mass. wall hanger 6 pointer. She did all this without barking once. Of course I told her what a good girl she was. I took her home. Then I went back for the deer. It was hard getting it out, but it would have been impossible to get her and the deer out at the same time.
What kind of pup you thinking of training? How old is it? If it were me, I would get it to track anything by saying "where'd it go or where's the deer" I used to train coon hound pups by having someone drag a dead one on the ground and then putting it in a tree. Then I would go out with the pup and get them tracking the coon. When they figured out what I wanted tracked and could track it, Then The person would start pulling the coon by a rope up the tree only to sling it out and let it land away from the tree and then go to another couple tree's. I was teaching it about how a coon will "Tap a tree" You get the point.
I wish you luck... And by the way The deer tracker never turned into a deer chaser. I could of had her track anything or anyone. "I like's my mutts"...MTP

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
