damn Michael, i soooo wanted that video to end with you turning the camera on yourself and giving the thumbs up pose like that picture on your wife's comforter!
Or .... use that blanket for the film company logo!
Startin' to get some ideas here.
You think, "Mikey likes it!", is already trademarked?
"MLI" will make people wonder and save you from pesky lawsuits. Realy enjoyed watching Turbo run the trail. He's fast! Are you going to hire yourselves out to hunters someday?
We'll always go look if someone wants help. I would never charge for it. Maybe mileage and guilt them out of some meat.
Finding lost or wounded game is really a passion for me. I don't like waste of life under any circumstances. Most hunters don't either. They HATE losing deer.
It would be nice if he went slower, though. Like at the first of the video. That way I can see the sign that he is following. That way you can tell what kind of wound you are tracking. A hit that you know is fatal after the time that has passed. Or a wound that is less than ideal and requires that you back off for a while. Or even sign of a non-fatal wound that shows you and the hunter that the deer WILL survive. That last one can mean as much as all the others to most hunters.
I've done a lot of "learning" on Turbo. That equals a lot of mistakes that may be hard to overcome. Also, blood trailing was an afterthought years after I got Turbo. Someday I plan on buying a dog born and raised to do this.
'Til then, I'm impressed with how far Turbo has made it. Luckily his natural instinct is shining through my attempts at training.
There is so much more to it than this suburban woman ever thought. I need to know more about dogs born and raised to track, please. Breed-specific or??? I find tracking utterly fascinating, if you hadn't guessed. I like to see a dog work with minimal human "interference". (Intervention? Interaction? What word am I looking for?)

I do what I can. My raw feeding teacher has taught me well!
I truly got this || close to slamming on my breaks and scooping it up, but I would have been rear ended. And possibly in the local paper, considering I live in a densely populated town.
"Girl Causes 5 Car Pile Up Trying to Salvage Road Kill."
You would have been proud.
But getting back to your video, I love it! I think you both did great and I can't wait to see more!!

Probably the best known blood trackers in the USA are wirehaired dachshunds.
I would love to have one of this guys dogs, but they are full 'til past 2011.
IMO, a great trailing dog doesn't really need any training. They were just born with the desire to track.
Any dog can smell a blood trail, but if they don't have that drive they won't follow it. Especially an old trail with little blood on it and only the wounded deer's individual scent to follow.
That takes a special dog to dig in and try to follow the trail. You can't train that.
