There’s no empty space in a deer’s vital area between the spine and lungs where your arrow can pass without hitting either one. Learn why in our latest article 👉👉 https://deerassociation.com/is-there-an-empty-space-between-a-deers-lungs-and-spine/

Anyone available for a track near Tappen/Napolean?

30/08/2024

Here is the current law for the use of dogs for big game recovery, straight from the Century Code. Please familiarize yourself with the law as hunters and trackers alike.

Good Luck and shoot straight, but if you end up with a questionable shot, we'll be here to try and help.

Hey All...

Just wanted to give everyone some updates about the page and upcoming season.

We have a few more teams out there to help, but we could definitely use more! If you're a tracker new to us, and want to take some tracks, message the page. Even if you have a dog in training, and are thinking of tracking for the public, get ahold of us. We'll try to get you hooked up with a local tracker that you could go with a few times to get a feel for the real thing, and if an animal is recovered, your dog may be able to run the line for practice and get exposure to a real animal at the end of the track.

Life is busy for us admins, and we try to get you linked up with trackers asap, but at times we're just plain busy and can't answer right away With that being said, we are endorsing the tracking app, Trakr. This app is on the IOS (Apple) and Android platforms, and is a true app you can download on your phone. It is free to download and use for hunters and trackers alike. The only cost is for trackers, ONLY if they choose to get/use the analytics portion. If you don't want that part, it is completely free to use. This app is the official app of United Blood Trackers.
Hunters, you can download the app, create a profile, enter all the information about your shot/hit, then submit it. It will ask you all kinds of questions, just like us or any individual tracker you contact, only this way, you put in the info once, and after you submit it, it blasts the info out to every tracker in the area that is using the app. Remember though, we are thin across the whole state, so have some patience, and give it some time. If no one is reaching out, you can always send us a message and we will get the word out best we can.
Trackers, we are highly encouraging you to download and use this app if possible. You can set your distance range of notifications from 10 miles to 300 miles. You can make a profile and choose to use the analytics or not. It's kind of neat to keep all your tracking info about your tracks in one spot. One of our admins is working closely with a Trakr admin, so if you have any hiccups, hopefully we can answer any questions quickly. As a tracker, your info is NOT available to be seen by any hunters or other trackers. You only become visible to a hunter once you apply for their track, and it is limited info.
Hopefully this connects hunters with trackers quicker, and less screenshots and 3-4 way communications across multiple media platforms...
We at ND Tracking Dog Group are endorsing the Trakr app for the 2024-2025 season.
Again, you can find it in your app or play stores on your phones, or go to gettrakr.com

Happy Hunting (and tracking) to All!

We’re here when you need us. No more searching around on social media, calling deer trackers late at night or trying to remember which buddy may or may not know who to call. TRAKR is your all-in-one game tracking app.

Almost forgot, Happy National Dog Day to all our tracking dogs out there!

21/08/2024

We did a fun little thing... give a listen if you can!

We forgot to mention two other ways you can reach some of our trackers...
Go to United Blood Trackers website and click on Find a Tracker, then put in your location. The nearest registered trackers will pop up.
The other new and exciting way to find a tracking team near you is the new Trakr app. It is out there on both IOS and Android platforms. You can create an account, put in all the details/information about your shot and circumstances surrounding it, and when you submit it, it instantly blasts out to all the area trackers on the app.

Hope everyone enjoys it, seasons are just around the corner. Happy Hunting!

Another good video on shot placement...

With years of researching whitetail deer while designing my most popular prints, I put together the ultimate guide to whitetail anatomy and shot placement! N...

13/03/2024

Hey All,

It's been a hot minute since we've posted...

Here's an educational video to educate yourself on deer anatomy, and where and how to shoot at an animal.

Lots of myths dispelled in this video, we'll leave it at that for now... Please discuss in the comments. Enjoy!

It's almost an hour long, but very thorough and educational!

***UPDATE*** OWNER FOUND!

Can we count that as a phone-coached recovery? Ha!

Hey all,

We just received this message from someone. If this is yours or know who's it might be, message the page and we'll get you/them a name and phone # to call.

"Last fall I found a Garmin Alpha 200 dog tracker. Found in Burke County, Lignite area. Garmin customer service would not help at all. call ###-###-###X. Identify names of dogs"

Drum roll please........

Numbers have been crunched, and we're happy to report it was a good year. Thank you to all the hunters that contacted us and several of the trackers around the state.
Thank you to all the tracking teams that took time out of your lives to help others attempt to find their animals.
We took requests in multiple ways, and several trackers were contacted for the same track at times, so we can't put a difinitive number on it, but we conservatively estimated the total known requests our trackers received. We had requests through our page, the Trakr app, UBT Find a Tracker, and direct calls, texts, Messengers, Snaps and in-person requests to our trackers.

Total track requests (est)......................225+
States we received requests from..............6
Trackers that took tracks..........................19
Total known tracks taken.......................144
Animals recovered by dogs......................57
Animals found dead after dog tracked.......3
Proofs of Life............................................37
(Animal tracked & seen alive later)
Unknown animal fates..............................47
(Many hunters didn!t follow up
with their trackers, and vice versa)

State-wide recovery rate......................39.5%
(On par with national averages)

08/01/2024

That's a wrap, folks!

Thank you to everyone who reached out for assistance. We will try to get some numbers out after we compile some data. It will be harder to get complete data with numerous trackers taking calls directly. We'll do our best!

04/01/2024

Four days left!!! Who's still grinding it out, waiting for their target buck? Who's gonna fill their tag with a freezer queen? Either way, our trackers are here to try and help. Antlers or slickheads, we don't care, we just want to help you recover your deer.

02/01/2024

Started off the new year right yesterday. We're still trying to help, so please reach out before you search beyond last sign. Good luck to those left with archery tags!
