I know we had a very good discussion on tracking dogs a while back. I am sorry the legislation did not get passed. There are still some very dedicated hunters working trying to get the DNR to open up and consider it. Right now there is a pettion going around that ask the dnr to make the policy changes to allow tracking dogs that they promised when the legislation failed. Look for it maybe deersniffer will get on here and post it.
In the mean time anyone interested in learning more and willing to travel some might be interested in United Blood Trackers "Trackfest"
