DIY Sportsman | Blood Trailing with Dogs with Shane Simpson

This week we have Shane Simpson back on the podcast. Many people know Shane as a turkey hunter, but he also recently bought a dog and trained it to track specific scent trails. In just the first fall, his dog Callie tracked over 30 deer with a very good success rate.

Shane and Bobby were able to connect very well since they both have experience in using dogs to track deer. They compared notes and talked about the advantages of certain breeds over others depending on the terrain. In addition to just talking about the dogs, Shane gave some insight on what the deer would typically do once hit. Often the general rule-of-thumb guidelines that hunters are taught don't hold up, or at least might be misunderstood. This fall, Shane will be documenting and producing videos on YouTube for his tracking jobs as part of The Callie Chronicles.
