A very busy weekend for UKDTR members
I had two half hour round trip to answer the call for help on this roe buck who was seen by a stalkers wife while attending her horses, we are often asked to track deer from the roadside and will do willingly if we can find out who the landowner is!
On this occasion we did and a dispatch was made, I am always amazed how far these animals can go with such terrible injuries.
I had another call for help on Sunday morning as I was travelling down to man the stand at the West Country game fair, a European client had wounded and lost a Chinese water deer, with many of our members down at the show I called two of our members from the Midlands who traveled down later that day to help.

Well after all the negativity of recent contributions on the dog page here’s a good example of what UKDTR do on a daily basis,
That’s helping stalkers when they need help,
This Picture is of Jon and his BMH who answered the call for help, this was a short track of some 300m with a short chase and dispatch on a roe buck.
Happy tracking team and even happier stalker.

 

[cookingfat]

A good recovery for one of our northern teams.

Stalker realised the shot had not gone to plan,
Marked the shot site and identified they may of legged it.
Called upon UKDTR for help and advice

Chad and chance took the call and helped recover a still mobile deer
Well done to the Stalker for doing things right and then calling for assistance
All of Chad’s handler training came into good use on this one as it was very close to a major A road
Well done to all


It’s been a very busy few weeks for us with very many calls for help and recoveries made,
Also there has been more tracking teams embarking no the first step to becoming a full UKDTR member


Thanks for looking

A good recovery for me and my hound today,
this buck was reported as a miss to the stalker on Thursday evening by a client that was sat in a high seat
the stalker went and checked the next morning and found a spot of blood and decided to make a bit more of a comprehensive search,
he entered the wood and saw a buck which was acting strangely, he gave me a call and my tracking team made the trip to try and help,
after a track through woodland and a couple of fields we came to a field of rape where the dog located the still very mobile roe buck, after a short 60 meter chase Hemi my HS brought the buck to bay and it was dispatched very soon after.
Had the buck been followed up the previous evening the chances of a recovery would have dropped to 15%
leg wounds are aways best left to layup

 

[cookingfat]

As you can see from the film clip even a roe buck can do your dog some serious damage or even worse.

Breeding and training are the key when faced with this situation,

Imagine what a Sika or Red stag would do or even a red hind with calf, there hoofs can do real damage!

Another deer recovered in awful weather last night, well done to Martin and his BMH for turning out after a long shift at work.

 

[cookingfat]

Good morning all,
Please take a look at our new website.
It is much more user friendly.
We are also looking for new members in areas we don't have members at this current time, take a look at our mentoring scheme.
Find your nearest tracker app is much faster and easier to use.

A good film on follow up from BASC and well worth a watch

 

[NullMac]

Well I don't want to be negative but there are some criticisms here. You are creating a job for yourself with that advice. Wait 20-30 minutes before approaching a wounded deer? Well it depends on the situation of course but that is just creating a scenario where tracking is absolutely required. Don't disturb the shot site? So don't a proper analysis of what you are dealing with? The presumption is that a tracking team is required for every wounded animal. Nonsense.

I am sorry but the stalker needs to be competent enough to deal with most of these situations on his own. A fully trained and equipped tracking team is not required in most situations, a half competent stalker with a dog will do it well enough. Your advice is not only going to create more complex recovery scenarios but actually is not in the best interests of the wounded animal as it is prolonging the suffering of the vast majority. This is supposed to be about humane killing not creating a fun day out wi yer dug.

 

[Jon P]

I think that this is a topic that know one will agree on, the stalker pulled the trigger, hopefully they have enough about them to make the right call on how long to wait to follow up or when to call in a dog.

Video covers the basics to anyone starting out who has not been lucky enough to have been brought up in this environment since a kid.

Tracking deer with a dog is always drama as there always seems to be busy roads nearby or boundaries you cannot cross.

100%
Most stalkers will recognise when they need a dog,
As I said in the film most stalkers dogs will do what they need.
Most of the recommendations made by the Basc team are in the best practice guides about follow up.

I guess it’s all about reputation and risk Mangement, blah blah.. not about been an SD hero, advice has been posted which is not actually that bad and half sensible, you have time and effort to have a pop at orginastion which has been established only to help stalkers .. you legend!

 

[Bavarianbrit]

Just wondered, do the team use their own fuel etc or does/should the stalker cover their travel costs?
