    i use scents on tennis balls...... for young pups to find, they soon learn to find them after they roll into the rubbish.
    fresh tennis ball rubbed over a dead rabbit or pheasant, it only really shows me a pups level of drive over it's siblings, but is fun to watch.

    i do buy into the german methods of bloodtracking/finding and reporting with aged tracks and it's something i wish to learn more about in the future.

    i don;t believe the scent makes an ounce of difference Jason... they'll still find the tennis ball. I didn;t say dogs didn;t track. I said the way they learn is how we expose to them opportunity, we don;t have to make the exercise.... just expose them to hunting.
