Thread: new to hunting dogs

After many many years of hunting without a dog iv got myself a 2 year old gsp. iv had him for a month or so and today we went for our first hunt together. he was great, sniffed around on a long lead as we walked to our spot i thought we might see a deer and long story shot i shot a deer on a clearing 300 yards away. As we approached the shooting site i let him off to go find it, he sniffed around and started tracking away from where id shot the deer, then quickly i was met with a frozen dog who i thought was being silly and not tracking anymore after being told to go and after a few more steps i saw a spiker was standing looking at me.
After the spiker bolted the dog did nothing but want to track the live deer(which im fine with). after taking him back multiple times to where the deer was shot he only wanted to go back to where we saw the live spiker. is there any way i could train him to know the difference? im pleased with how he went today and leading me to the live deer just annoyed we didnt find the deer that was shot.
