Gentleman please "we are the PFJ"
as for dayglow clothing and protection against black thorns when tracking(as UKDTR don't track boar) hi-vis and tuff clothing is a must, something Richard and myself are addressing,
I think we will draw the line at the helmet
i personally and expect all that are part of our organisation to fully support the UKSHA in what we are all doing to promote tracking and helping stalkers when they call to end suffering.
Just in case you think that we always have successes this is not the case, in my area since April 1st myself another member have had 10 call outs, and out of those ten we have successfully recovered 7 carcasses, 4 dead and 3 had to be dispatched, one other was in my opinion a very close shave for the deer, A miss, the other two where wounded, one was a bottom jaw blown off and the stalker could not find the shot site for me so could not get a handle on the track, the other was this morning and we just could not get to the end for probably many different reasons and it was not for the won't of trying and I fell very guilty and sorry for not finding for the stalker.
so all can see that nothing is 100% find every time,
but with the right training and input our dogs and handlers will do there best,
My little pup is only 9 months old maybe a expect to much, but she will get better with more training and more live tracking.
many thanks to all for your kind comments
Tony
