Full Throttle Game Calls
We get asked quite a bit about heat and training or tracking. My answer:
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.
Looking at these pictures, what vital did this hunter hit? If you refer to our picture post from yesterday, this is in the pocket at the #1 spot.
I like my 6.5, I would not want to be on the receiving end of the 142 grain Berger bullet. It will “keel”
Some gratuitous GWP puppy pics from this hot and hazy Friday afternoon, the pups got out for some sun and a bath on the deck today. They are 7 weeks old and ready next weekend. Due to our excellent pup production of GWPs we are taking offers on these pups. There are 6 males left. 3 liver and 3 roan/liver. Looking for a do everything dog? Right here is your litter! Oh, if interested please “talk to the wife” before contacting me and wasting my time.
Longspur Kennels is a registered NKC Kennels, pups will be wormed and first round of vaccinations. Pups are NKC registered.
Is anyone getting any trail cam pictures?
Here we go!!!! Time to get the summertime education train rolling! I will be posting pictures throughout the summer of scenarios, blood from tracks and other tracking lore and we will discuss it!
First off, what number on this buck is your preferred hit spot for archery? Comment below and share this picture! Let’s get talking “catching deers”!
My take as a tracker, biologist and hunter all my life, I am shooting for between number 3 and 5. As a tracker if you shoot number 4 we will come find that deer for you all day long with the dogs. While most will say #1 is heartshot, it can be tricky there because at the angle the diaphragm sits in a deer, just one inch is a dead deer or a gut shot. #6 99.9% of the time is a non recovery. #2 is questionable and it comes down to pe*******on. We have a better chance of recovering #7 than #6!

Got to love it when Kaden Masse sends me a picture from the hayfield showing off his haying skills! Kelsie Lemasters you better hold on to this guy, he’s 100% son-in-law material!
Tracker’s ID is blazing a track across this great nation! We have a couple invoices out in Virginia! Thought we would see a good push out of Missouri also! Lots of good trackers out that way!
Happy West Virginia Day!
Oh my West Virginia Department of Natural Resources!
1.) Bears are omnivores, period!
2.) There are no salmon runs in West Virginia!
While West Virginia hunting and fishing has improved greatly under the watch of Governor Jim Justice and his administration, those that are in charge at DNR need to watch who they put in charge of educating our next generation lest they “disneyfy” our animals. Bears are omnivores that take the opportunity to eat anything. They are in no way vegetarians or carnivores. Also please please don’t mislead by copying and pasting Wikipedia in these press releases! There will be a bunch of Yankees coming to our mountains to catch the salmon run and pet the vegetarian bears!
Continuing our celebration of West Virginia’s state animals – the black bear became our state animal in 1973. Black bears eat honey, fruits, berries, salmon and other animals. That makes bears:
🥩 Carnivores
🥐 Omnivores
🥕 Vegetarians

As a dog man that has hunted with hounds, curs, fiests, bird dogs and other breeds. There’s nothing more amazing and breath taking to watch than a Jagdterrier in action! 25 - 30 pounds of just pure hunting fury, the heart and tenacity of a grizzly bear! It’s the hunter/handler’s job to keep them alive, they seriously hunt themselves to death. We love our Jagds!

Do you have your ID? Your Tracker’s ID? This is the only 100% natural whitetail deer interdigital scent for tracking dog training on the market! Trackers ID is taking the tracking dog training community by storm with very good results pouring in. Tracker’s ID is not mass produced and is very limited in production. We currently have 30 bottles in stock and we are running out of hooves to make more, so get more while it’s available!
Man I relate to this picture! I was 10 years old and a Longhunter with my Crossman 760. Sparrow, snakes, cowbirds, rats in the barn…… I was the protector of the ole homestead in Braxton County, WV! Allen Cristina Workman you probably remember seeing a young punk running around that looked like this!
DOG DAYS OF SUMMER CONTEST! Guess the dog and handler correctly and be the first to do it and you will win your choice of a Longspur or BloodTrailz decal!
This tracking team has got the northern panhandle of WV, northeast Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania hard! This region has been introduced to Longspur’s Team Ugly Dog and has learned to “Fear the Beard”! The handler is a really good coyote hunter and has learned how to handle and track with this beautiful GWP. We are expecting great things from this team in 2024!
Raspberry season is almost here, then it’s black berry time!

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 a starting pup. The heat of summer is starting to close in and it’s not even summer!
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.
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!
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?

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)
