If you are able to provide tracking services, post up your contact information, complete with County/Counties that you are willing to travel to, and a telephone/cell phone number. Please do not post up pricing, if you charge for your services. This post is not intended to start a bidding war on services. It is intended to get hunters in contact with someone to track their deer.

Keith from the 8 years I tracked I found there aren't many that actually do this. Those that did didn't have experience and were mostly trying to train their dogs and were doing this service to get on a trail to try their dog. I know of at least 2 dozen deer we went on after another dog that we mine found. There is one that I do know of in western ky but I don't have his contact and one that was just starting out from the brandenburg area last year. I hate it that my dog is just too old to go anymore as I have had to turn down so many calls the last 2 seasons of being retired. I have almost taken a few of those without the dog just because over the 8 years we tracked and 181 deer we recovered I could almost do it better myself without a dog than some that were doing it when we were going non stop. I still get calls and try to give them all the advice I can over the phone but again there is nothing that beats a well trained experienced nose of a dog.

Give them a call. They have tracking teams all over the state.

Rachel Crume has a tracking dog. I’ve seen her post on Instagram. She’s got a IG account under Sookiethedeerdog for “wounded big game recovery”.

I believe she calls it 30 Feet Ahead and works in KY and IN. They are certified UBT 1.

There’s a lot more folks using dogs than in previous years.

I live in Knox County. I have a one year old tracking dog that I have been training for tracking deer for recovery after the shot. She has been unbelievable in training but has yet to take a real track. I have done training tracks with her that are 24 hours old. I would be willing to try a track if one is needed. I do not charge a fee. I am look to get her some experience. If you need a tracking dog but can not get an experienced one I would be willing to come out and help. I would be willingly to travel to any surrounding county. My name is Chris my cell phone 606-545-8363

I am proud my dog has recovered 3 deer! All 3 tracks were very challenging being they were gut shot with virtually no visible sign that the hunters could follow.

Tracking within an hour or so travel of Louisville/ Mt. Washington.

Prime time is nearly here, don't let using a trained dog be your last resort.

Same boat as 1971 but Packer has recovered two for me, one being 18 hours of rain. He scored perfect in tracking in his NAVHDA test. I’ll drive an hour or so just pay for gas and am located in Cumberland Cnty. 248-762-3210 Gregg and Packer ( Pudelpointer )
