Bloodhound finds Deer Boneyard...

Justin has been training Copper to track all kinds of fun stuff. You know all the main things we dream about teaching dogs to find for us...Morels, Antler Sheds, Truffles, Leprechauns at the end of rainbows, and all kinds of cool things that we cant seem to find very consistently ourselves....

So here is a pic of Copper, she is getting big:

Anyhow, last week my cousin shot a deer while archery hunting. He couldnt find the deer that night, so in the morning we took Copper out for her maiden voyage....Yes I know what some of you are thinking....you cant use dogs to hunt deer, BUT you can legally track a wounded deer with a leashed dog!

So Copper gets right on the trail and takes Justin about a half mile right to the torn up carcass in the middle of a deer boneyard...


Justin said there were at least 15 deer carcasses and bones scattered everywhere....We are gonna set up some trail cams to try and learn more about how the coyotes are using this place....anyone got more information about these graveyards, please share...

  2. I had saw the pic of Copper and she is big..It feels disgusted to know that there were at least 15 deer carcasses and bones scattered everywhere..This is not the way to treat deers..Why people do this..
