Hello All! As a crazy German running a bloodhound station (free tracking service for the local hunters community, supported by the German hunting club and the government), I am pretty much into that tracking training, the "continental style".... We keep our hounds always on the leash, they only get released to chase down a wounded animal getting off the wound coach. That allows a strict and direct control and influence and supports also the relationship between the dog and its handler. The rest is pretty similar, from dragged gutts, through dragged deer and then an early switch over to scent shoes plus some blood, or even without, from fresh tracks, just a few hours old to more than 24 hours old tracks... Its amazing to see, what performance these dogs can show if properly trained!

Hello again! Sorry for being away over the Christmas days, but I had a hard time to survive all the eating and drinking.... So off to a little rough shooting with friends yesterday.... I mainly hunt with my rifle, because I am situated in an area (1 hour east of Cologne, the so called "Sauerland", country of the 1000 hills...), which holds a good number of deer and boar, but just a very little number of small game... I really love our bigger pigeon shooting days further North, decoying is one of my favourites! There will be a time in the future, where I have to give it a go in the UK for woodies.... Maybe on my next Muntjak stalking trip in March.... Should be loads arounds then...? It will be around Herefordshire.... I wish you all a perfect start into a great 2014!

Wow, thats a warm and friendly Welcome... Thanks guys!
