Back around Christmas I bought a Bluetick and I have determined I want to try to teach him to blood track. I have bought and began to read John Jeannine's book "Tracking Dogs For Finding Wounded Deer". The pup is currently 13 weeks old and I haven't started any tracking training just yet but I do plan to very very soon. The main problem I am having is having deer product to help train. I do have some skin which I plan to use as a reward, and I have a small amount of blood and a liver I collected from a deer i killed. Unfortunately I didn't have that successful of a season so I don't have much blood, liver, and no legs. What do y'all recommend in this situation. Ive read about possibly trying to get blood and what not off of fresh road kill (not sure about legal issues here) but thats not always a guarantee. I have seen "Dog Bone BloodTrail Training Scent" on gundogsupply.com, does anyone have any experience with this? Any and all help is greatly appreciated and if there are any blood dog guys in the Middle Ga area (Im in Perry) that would like to share knowledge or maybe help me get started in training let me know!
