Blimey. Keith. Thanks for the link
I’d better get a pair of running shoes that is fast tracking, Nugget is enthusiastic but it’s early days for him yet, he is steady and methodical, checks it all out and moves on at a steady rate
Will be getting him out this week on Muntie and fallow AM & PM trails
I’ve been doing zig zag 100 mtr trails with spot blood and Muntjac lung drag - is that too short, in and out of cover across ditches etc, he’s been tracking those ok
I put a Muntie skin,head and legs all intact under some cover, he nudged it then sat and barked/ bayed at it, nudging it every couple of seconds, when I picked up he quickly attached himself to the end of it and scragged it
I’m really pleased how he’s doing, I took him out on a couple of stalks and he walks 3 ft in front out of the way of my feet
When he gets a whiff or a noise he just stops - sniffing and listening looking
I’ve got him on a light tracking lead and he hasn't come to the end of it yet, if I stop he slows down, he has an eye on me as well, haven’t had to pull him up, I think he has found where he wants to be speed wise ( at the moment

)
Both of us are not in a rush, but he can get a spurt on, he’ll probably get more experience and shave off some time later
Thanks for sharing video, it’s brilliant
Cheers
Phil
