I'll wear gloves when I plant the week old source just for you Randy.

Ted,
Besides the thanks I want to share, I want to say my questions were not critiques by any stretch of the imagination. They were honest questions.

Looking forward to the next clip.
Randy

Me too!

Uh, and Randy .... you might want to think about re-stocking the wine cellar. LOL Unless you want to be keeled.

The source won't be a week old when you plant it though, right?

The aids I use are much older than a year, so the age of the source does not really matter at this point.

What matters is that A: I don't contaminate the source with my scent, or any other human scent.

B: I let the source sit for a week, then let the dog search.

We'll see how things go!

That's actually what I meant to say.
Randy may have wiped out the wine cellar, but he seems to have left the rum.

Yeah yeah,
I restock, now we wait for it to get a little age on it.
Uh, Alyssa next week we'll do the end around again, what ya say?

No no no, the target can't be aged a week, it has to be planted for a week.

Edit reason: Except for the wine supply, disreguard everything else

Took the words out of my mouth.:smile:

Sorry, Ted. I didn't so much mean your searches in the vid, but more searches in general. Say a dog that might be havin' a little trouble, but saw the handler stop. If keeping walking, even for just another 15-20 feet, when you know where the source is would ensure no handler cues. I mean, since a good dog shouldn't come off scent, it wouldn't hurt to keep walking, right?

Oh no. I wasn't implying that you did the things in my questions. You could tell that your dog didn't get any clues from you. I even thought that by the vid, the dog came into scent even earlier than :56 sec. I had thought he caught a wiff when he took off jogging much farther away from you than he was during the beginning of the search.

And I had wondered about the aging question, based on goofing off with my dog, throwing a stick, blind to him, into the woods, and him finding my stick from a 1/4 acre full of sticks. I just figured he could pick up my scent off an article, too.

And again, no criticizing on my part. I thought the vid was awesome. I guess my questions were trying to find out, "How much do I need to be worrying about doing this...or that...?"

I even threw out an antler to have him look for tomorrow. If I want more vids, I should post some, right?

Hopefully I can keep up with him in the thick stuff, and not make y'all too drunk with bouncy video with me running through the woods.

God knows Randy needs no more drunk.

I will come out of the closet and admit that I even love FST.

I get excited when I see Turbo's little stub tail wagging 100 mph because he caught a wiff of a cheerio across the living room.

I'm really easy.:wink:

Hey what'd I do?
Honest, I wasn't speeding around drinking and typing.
