It is not common this time of year that my schedule allows me to spend time with the hunter after the track. But I’m thankful today I did have such an opportunity. I enjoyed the conversation. Reagun enjoyed the fresh liver bites. And together we will use the donated parts for training/practice tracks in the off season. Congrats on the Columbia county Wisconsin buck.

Reagun loved every step of the ~300 yard track. It wasn’t easy for her. Perhaps her enthusiasm led to her overstepping some turns. The short wait to acquire trespass authorization helped her calm down and focus. And she cut at least 40 yards off the path when she winded the deer 25 yards away in the opposite direction. The final loop the deer made was surprising.
We are thankful for the hunter recognizing this track would likely have its challenges. They backed out and scheduled us for the following morning. Both essential ingredients for a successful and efficient track. Congrats to the hunter on this beautiful Columbia county Wisconsin buck.

Packing lunch for my busy day of tracking. Thankfully, I have a helper

I pack a car lunch for our busy days of tracking. The good Lord only gave me two hands. But he is blessed me with a dog to help.

As I met with the Hunter for the track today, I had a good feeling. As a tracker, my definition of a successful track is more a reflection of quality of the dog and handler work as a team. On the other hand, most hunters consider a successful track as one in which they are able to put their hands on their deer. This track turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected. I believe there are valid reasons for this and Reagun did her best to work through them.   This track required several resets and the distractions were many, especially considering the length of this track. Congratulations to the Columbia county Wisconsin hunter.

Reagun and I would like to wish all our Wisconsin hunter friends a safe and memorable 2025 firearm season.

I enjoy hearing hunters tell me of when they got the shakes. Usually it’s after the shot is made. I can understand why today’s hunter was shaking. I’m pretty sure most hunters would. And I hope he never losses that sensation. Congrats on the Adams county WI hunt.

When we start a track we don’t know how long it will be. The shorter ones often are memorable as the longer ones. The dog is just as happy with an 100 yard find as a 800 yard workout with a deer at the end. It is fun to watch Reagun share her enthusiasm with the hunter and show them the deer she located. Congrats to the hunter.
