Haven't posted in a long time. Not much to brag about but I'll give update So my buddy an I went to a new spot and there was way too much snow. As we're leaving , we are walking a frontage road out and all sudden bone dog disappears over the hill. We stop and are waiting and I say he better bring back an antler. About ten seconds later he bust the hill with this one. So cool bone dog in the black Couple days later we go in town and weren't finding any and as we were nearly back to truck I find half of one that was fed In town all year. He dropped in an odd spot by the jeep This was us few days later as we hit a new spot. He pulled four vs my two. His first and our sixth were his match. The second one was amazing as he was crawling under a down fall showing me his back side. I stood watching thinking he must have a bone to be working that hard. He slowly backed out with the match to his first find. He is something else And here is a break off he found yesterday. What a dog. If u don't have a dog, get one and train em. Best thing I ever did. People always say well that's cheating or that takes away from u seeing em first. I assure u there is nothing greater than watching your dog that you trained so hard working the field. I get so obsessed with him finding em that I rarely find myself looking because I'm always watching him. What a dog what days. I love u bone dog.
Oh and we got super wet and cold and I ended up at the shop Htx no cam. Over grand later. Damn snow /rain. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
John Adams, Yes you can train him. The dog needs to have a hunt drive - meaning he is willing to work and search for his prey. You will teach him his prey is a shed antler. The dog needs to demonstrate a willingness to please you. He has to recognize the antler by sight and recognize it by smell. I have two labs - one trained and the other is in the process of being trained. I worked with my oldest lab a great deal before I handed him over to a full time trainer. I believe in training to sight first and then train to scent. The dog wants and knows how to use his nose. If you are interested in training your blue heeler or any other dog, please send me a private message on here or email me. I am not a trainer just a dog owner who trained mine partially. My help is free with no cost $$ involved. Wayne B. Pruett Portland, TN (north of Nashville) [email protected] 615.517.4873 cell
