BLOOD TRACKING
Sometimes there isn't enough blood or other signs of a wounded animal to permit the hunter to track and find the game by eye. This may be due to rain or snow or because the bleeding is internal. This is when we use specially trained dogs for Blood Tracking.  Along with the scent of blood the dog actually picks up many other scents from the wounded animal. In New York State, and in a few other states where this approach has been legalized, special licenses are issued to use leashed tracking dogs for finding wounded deer and bear. Deer Search handlers go out on a volunteer basis with hunters who call our dispatcher. We are the hunter's last resort.
