Slifer's Bloodhound Service

We provide deer recovery services to hunters to assist them in finding wounded deer. I have bow hunted 20+ years and know the gut-wrenching feeling of losing a deer. Nine years ago I hung my bow up and I trained my bloodhound, Dio, to recover lost/wounded deer. Fast forward to today and we’ve recovered 100’s of deer for hunters. NO, some deer we track are not mortally wounded! We (Team Dio) will

make every attempt to find your deer, if your deer isn’t found you can be rest assured that the deer is likely yet alive, PEACE OF MIND!! You can contact me at 217-821-5838, text is best due to signal issues at times. Just as a note, if you feel you have a bad hit, give it as much time as possible (we have no issues with a 24 hr old track 52 hrs is our oldest recovery), avoid stepping on the blood while tracking. If you lose the track, MARK THE POINT OF LOSS WELL. Then backtrack beside the track as best you can, so as not to falsely mislead the dog, also immediately acquire permission on the neighboring property in case we have to continue the track there, IT’S THE LAW! Oh Good luck and be safe this season, and if you would need us we would be glad to help, and hopefully recover your deer.
