There was a thread in the classifieds that got me thinking a bit more seriously about deer dogs. Seemed like quite a few guys on here run dogs on deer. I've used my dog to track dead deer, but have not let her run them. I have Jagdterriers. I've heard of guys using all different types of dogs.
So for the guys that run dogs, How does it work? Sort of a loaded question I guess, but looking for info on types of dogs you use. Open/closed on track? Do they ever Bay/Catch the deer?
Obviously you dont want the dogs to run the deer straight into the next county. How do the deer run? How do the dogs turn them? How long are the races? How many dogs and shooters do you use typically? I'm assuming you want the dogs to run the deer by the shooters. We hunt Mule Deer here in the SoCal mountains, not White Tails on farm land
