07/01/2024

We here at Longspur do alot of work with dogs and you know us for that, we also provide our Longspur Environmental division, helping landowner’s make forestry and wildlife management decisions throughout the East.
It’s been an honor to serve our home state of West Virginia. We are extremely honored to have been asked to be the keynote speaker at the West Virginia Deer Association banquet on August 17th at Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park. Our talk will focus on using forestry practices to manipulate deer habitat, the use of drones in Wildlife Management and of course a little dog wisdom sprinkled in!
Thank you to the association board! West Virginia Deer Association

It started on Friday with Seth Gordon and Chase McCoy coming to headquarters and passing WGT 1 with their new pups Hank and Piper. Then Saturday dawned bright and hot on the West Virginia hills, the trackers and judges gathered and there was a feeling in the air of family and a touch of history. For years we have asked another national organization to come and administer national tests here. We were told “no” so we approached the American Blood Trackers Association and they have been a joy to work with. Their Judge, Joe Tenney of Creek Side Deer Recovery and his apprentice Brandon See came and participated. Longspur Trackers went 3-3 on started dog testing in this tough terrain. Then we got started with the Longspur’s Wounded Game Testing segment. The WGT tests are mountain tests. They are not designed to be flatland tests and they are tough, plus throwing in 90 degree heat and severe updrafts all day long with approaching severe weather and it made it rough on the dogs and trackers. We saw some great dog work from some solid trackers!

Benjamin Wheeling and Neptune WGT 2
John Hockaday and Tigger WGT 1 and ABTA Started Dog ( first tracker in the country to pass 2 national certifications on the same day)

Another day closer….

06/28/2024

Huge weekend for wounded game tracking in West Virginia! Longspur Tracking and Outfitting in association with Bloodtrailz has put together the first ever testing weekend where two certifications are being offered. The American Blood Trackers Association which is quickly becoming the premier national group for testing and education will be judging some tracking tests. These will be the first ever tracking tests administered in the state of West Virginia by a national organization. The Longspur Tracking Group will also be running our Wounded Game Tracking Tests. The WGT tests are gaining popularity as a way to challenge yourself and your tracking dog and to earn “the patch” for your dog and are available to any tracker. Needless to say we are excited to finally have an organization to work with, to help educate young and inexperienced trackers and to continue to improve so that we can continue to provide the absolute best services to hunters!

Ruby recovery

This is the video from the track that we posted educational pictures earlier. The answer? It was a gut shot. Paunch pushed up against the diaphragm turning a perfect shot into a track for a dog.

Running Ruger

Ruger the GSP running this 650 yard track. What a pup! He has a little trouble with the change from grass to gravel. Then some duck 🦆 distraction. Then he works it out!

Setting a Tracker’s ID Track for starting dog

Setting a Tracker’s ID track for a starting pup. The heat of summer is starting to close in and it’s not even summer!

Jep

This is Jep the Jagdterrier. This track is 250 yards long, 2 hr delay. 1 oz blood and Tracker’s ID on a sponge stick. This is all this pup has known is blood, liver and ID. Yesterday we took his liver away and upped the ante. 4, 90 degree turns and ran it in the heat of the day. You can follow along and see how this “ID” puppy turns out. We are going to try to get him in on some testing towards the end of August. Then throw him to the tracking fire. Not bad! I think I will run him on this same scenario again except in the cool of the morning or evening.

Dexter

This is Dexter, he is a rescue GWP. THIS IS HIS FIRST ATTEMPT EVER at TRACKING! He gives me a pretty good nip on the hand. He is a work in progress, a big lovable hairy beast! We will continue to run him and see what we bring out of him!

Ruger the GSP

This is Ruger the GSP, he is a Longspur pup, just over a year old. We are running him on Tracker’s ID and blood while he is here, prepping him for testing. He has a nose down tenacity for sure! We will set a difficult track for him in the next day or so!

Coming this Fall on the BloodTrailz TV YouTube channel!!! The Recovery! Its's the story of your hunt, it's the story of your track its the story of THE RECOVERY #GarminSponsored #gundogoutdoors #longspur

This is why we do hayfield flights. This fawn went through the mower and died a horrible death. These buzzards finished tearing him apart while the tractors were still mowing within a few feet. Which is harassing the deer herd more? A quiet drone at 400 feet or just running the fawns down with a mower?

One of our GWP pups, brother to Truda and Rollo baying a wild hog in South Carolina for his owner Luke Byrd, if your looking for a really hardcore hunting partner to handle everything from dove fields to treeing bears, our GWP program is top notch! We have 21 pups on the ground. 4 females ready to go next week in Lexington, KY, 8 available here at headquarters ready July 1, 9 available in Weirton, WV around August 1! We can talk discounts on multiples!

Anticipated release date is June 12! BoneShine Shed Liquor, the most affective way to train your dog to find wild sheds! Message us for more info!

BurrPaw product demonstration

Here is a product that I believe every tracker and hunter needs in their pack. Burr Paw is an effective tool. Here we tested it on three types of annoying burrs on three types of cloth. Giving this product a 4.5 out of 5 stars. This is a well made, American Made product, out of the great state of Nebraska. Check them out at www.burrpaw.com (This is a product demo, we receive no compensation from the fine folks at BurrPaw)
