Words of Truth.
I have a large male Wolf Hybrid. He has been trained
Explicitly to blood / cold trail wounded game. We are talking
HUNDREDS of Hours here!
I'd be surprised should many be inclined to expend that kind of effort to get it right.
Mine did. The cost as noted was one hell of a LOT of time, patience and effort. He has now recovered 8 Bucks here on the Island (none wounded by me). Does an exemplary job. In the
jungle around here, it is quite likely all 8 would have never been recovered.
With the right rules in place, I cannot see a down side...
Cheers,
