Thank you for providing this on youtube. I have only read tracking wounded deer book and watched your videos and my 1 year old lab is doing fantastic with the mock drags.
When teaching the dog for wounded deer tracking/trail, is it blood or another scent they are actually following? I have heard blood being used, but I have also been told it is a scent given off in the hooves when the deer is injured.
The real hide will last if it is stored well... After you re-hidrate it when you receive the hide and are done using it put it in a plastic bag and freeze it... then unthaw when you are ready to use it again!
Awesome info. Looking into getting a Labrador to grow up with my daughter, and spend time with me afield. Do you look for any specific traits as a puppy when selecting your dog's?

Good video, my question is how long will the Real Hid product last?
