Today’s training track 540 yards on the state game land. Put the track down a little afternoon. Took Duke to it just after 5pm. As you can see he did great. Took him 16 minutes. Video coming soon!

Quick training track today. More of a confidence builder for my self. I had Angie lay the track then let it age for 3 hours. First time I had no idea where the track was. Angie followed us like she was the hunter and kept track of how we did. Duke nailed it!

Today’s training track was 300yards long. The weather is HOT! I laid the track early this morning and let it age almost 4 hours. Duke did great for the first 3/4 of the track then started circling and lost the track. He eventually got back on it and found it. I don’t know if it was the heat or if he started winding it and it confused him. Laid with tracking shoe hooves and 1.5cc of blood. Blue is the laid track. Red is Duke.

Once again Duke flew through tonight’s training track. It’s been a few weeks since I got him out but he mastered it. Today was just over 500 yards. He did it in just over 11 minutes pulling me the entire way at 1.6mph. It was laid with feet and a 2x2 liver drag and aged a few hours. Guess it’s time to up the game with no more liver drags and only do feet with a few oz of blood and start aging for longer times. In the picture blue is the track I put down and red is Dukes trail.

500 yard training track. Tracking shoes, no blood, 2x2 piece of liver. Aged 2 hours. Laid after a downpour and it started misting while Duke was after it. New camera don’t mind me huffing and puffing, the mic amplifies it 😉.

500 yard track. Aged for one hour. State game lands lots of rocks. Don’t mind my horrible filming or when I loose the lead. Took Duke just over 15 minutes largely because he was waiting for me.

Quick training track at the end of the day. State game land 200 yards one 90degree turn. Using tracking shoes and 3oz of blood. Duke flew threw it in 3 minutes.

I forgot to hit record for the first half. Duke flew through this training track. It was 140 yards and he did it in under 5 minutes. Tracking shoes and hooves with approximately 8oz of 🩸. Kept it fairly easy in super muddy ground that was over run with deer tracks. It’s getting neat watching him and seeing him learn. When he looses the track his head comes up but as soon as he is back on it his nose is to the ground! Doing great for not being quite 4 months old.
