Hunting Workshop in North Carolina - Deer Recovery and Tracking Dogs

[Ryan Rothhaar]

There will be a hunting workshop near Chapel Hill, NC on March 13-14 focusing on deer recovery and the use of tracking dogs to find deer.  I will be presenting a seminar about tracking game (without dogs) and there will be dog presenters (many breeds) and other non-dog presenters as well as folks from Europe talking about blood tracking over there.  I would love to see a few more traditional bowhunters show up!  If anyone is interested you can search "F3 Hunting Workshop" for details.

This is not being done for profit, but as a service to the hunting community, and I want to thank Terry Green for letting me use his shot placement pics up top in my slide presentation.

Cool but keep your head down near Chapel Hill.If the tree hugging,grass eaters there find out about it is no telling who will show up.    They are not too big on hunters.

might have to make time for that, especially living inNC wereit is a veritable jungle in bow season....

[GMMAT]

Only asking, because I don't know....

But, is tracking with a dog legal in NC?  I know it's illegal in several states (not that I agree with that, at all).

Just wondered.

[Ryan Rothhaar]

James - yep, I heard that already   .  The organizer has experience with this area and will dodge the undesireables.


GMMAT - I don't know the laws in NC (I don't track there) - but the workshop will involve much more than just tracking dogs.  I suspect within the next few years tracking dogs will be legal in all of the "whitetail" states.

Ryan,

I am so bummed that I won't be able to come.  I am doing the Pig Gig hunt that week and Mark Hornes bow building school that week-end.  But I will be at the field trials in Rock Springs, GA., are you going?

Ryan   be sure to teach the folks where the shoulder is.  The real shoulder.

Jeff, they let em hunt deer with dogs here , so I can'nt see where tracking them would be illeagal. Don

[GMMAT]

Interestingly enough, Don....it's not legal all the time....or everywhere.  I just checked the United Blood Trackers website.  

That's sad to learn.
