    Fletchs first blood trail was a success

    Went to the lease on saturday (waited the rain out) with full intention of sticking something to get the dog on his first blood trail. My brother stuck a little hog sunday morning and it was a perfect set to bust fletch's cherry on. Put him on the spot where the hog was shot told him to "find it", he went to work. My brother had said it was a good shot and he shouldn't be that far, well about 100 yards in fletch is still going strong and i haven't seen a drop of blood yet. Being this was his first Live action and no blood i was hesitant thinking that he was tracking some live hogs, but decided to trust the dog and let him keep going, another 100 yards and i see the hog get up and start walking away. Fletch has never bayed anything, and i have not seen an ounce of agression in this dog. I mean he plays with my fiances cat and licks it. Well when he saw that hog it was like a light switch flipped on, i dropped the lead he ran in front of the hog got him bayed up and i walked up and shot the hog with a pistol. Couldn't have been prouder and glad to see the training come to fruition. Honestly i don't think we would have found this hog, i never saw a drop of blood and i don't know how the hog even made it as far as he did, was a great experience for both of us.....heres a little video i shot after i shot the hog with a pistol....hopefully next weekend we can get him on a deer, im sure he'll do fine

                    I love it! Man I like the looks of that pup! I hope my dash-hound does as well... course she's only 3 1/2 months old, but she's done well on the trails I laid down for her, AND she has shown me she hates cows by raising cane when she saw her first ones... That's a real plus for her in my book...

                        thks slick, I'm sure your dash will do great...Fletch always hated cows too, huge plus....I started him on trails at 3.5 months he's 10 months old now (liver drags before that), and worked one a week since then with a couple month break during the heat of the summer (too hot for me not him). I put him on a pretty hard one a week ago to get things going again and he did excellent on a 14 hr old line, but my trails werent nearly as hard as this track was, i literally didn't see a drop of blood after the first one....beats crawling around on my hands and knees looking for pindrops here and there....make sure to trust the dog too, i did on the first one and always will from now on, he had me doubting for awhile but came through....hows are the deer looking down there this year? Looked like y'all got a sizeable rain out of that last storm
