Wounded game Tracking with Dogs

Rainy Day K9's Wounded Game Tracking

Whether it's recovering your trophy or confirming a clean miss, tracking with a dog provides answers when the trail runs cold.

Not every shot leads to an easy recovery. A deer can still travel farther than expected, leaving little blood or sign to follow. 

Respect the Hunt. Respect the Game. Call for a Tracking Dog. 

Why call a Tracking Dog?

Recover More Game -

Dogs have an incredible sense of smell. They are able to smell where the deer has been without any visual signs. Tracking dogs prevent waste by finding Deer/Elk that would otherwise be lost. 

Peace of Mind -

Even if recovery isn’t possible, a track can provide reassurance that the deer is likely still alive and capable of surviving injury and not left suffering. 

Ethical Hunting -

Using a tracking dog honors the game you pursue and upholds the values of responsible hunting. 

Tips for Hunters After the Shot

To give your Deer/Elk the best chance of recovery:

  • Mark the Spot - Note exactly where the deer was standing when you shot.


  • Wait Before Tracking - Don't rush in; give the deer time depending on the hit.


  • Observe Closely - Watch how the deer runs, reacts and where it disappears.


  • Mark Evidence - Flag blood, hair, or tracks but avoid disturbing the trail. (Using OnX tracking feature if able)


  • Don’t Grid Search - Too much human scent can make tracking harder for the dog


  • Call Early - the sooner a tracking dog starts, the better the chance of recovery.

Things we might need from you

  • Pictures of blood where the Deer/Elk was standing when hit.


  • Archery hunters - pictures of blood on arrow (if arrow is found)


  • On x track, making sure to mark where blood has already been found.


  • Having permission ahead of time to search on private properties.
