We all know are dogs are tracking foot and blood scents but how many would you say they also track useing spent powder residue i.e are dogs are picking this up through licking the blood or on the wind.
Last year while taking a sd member on some stalking i have he wanted to check the zero of my rifle .After fireing 3 shots at a target on the river bank he was happy .I then let my lab have a run he started to hunt as if looking for a shot deer he crossed the river and went along the oppisite bank the wind was behind him all of a sudden he stopped and turned back only going about 4 ft and was hanging over the river bank marking where the 3 shots went.My dog always licks the wound on the deer that i have shot
