Deer Search handlers in Otsego County, NY

I have not caught up yet with all the pictures and stories submitted by blood trackers during the last tracking season. I am going to make an effort to post all the backlogged posts within this upcoming week. Today I would like to focus on two Deer Search handlers who track in Otsego and Delaware counties of New York.


Fred Zoeller is based in Cooperstown, NY, and he tracks with two dogs. The first two pictures show the younger one of the two - a Bavarian Mountain Hounds imported from Germany. Her name is Mika, and she is showing a lot of promise. More information about Bavarian Mountain Hounds can be accessed at Ken Parker's website at http://www.hillockkennels.com/

Fred's more experienced tracking dog is Cretchen whose registered name is Demi von Moosbach-Zuzelek. Cretchen is four years old now, and she is out of Alfi and Elli.

This spectacular buck was recovered by Fred Zoeller and Cretchen.

Mario Montana lives in Brooklyn, NY, but during the deer hunting season his base is in Sidney, NY. Mario is a highly successful tracker who also uses a wirehaired dachshund - her name is Cheyenne. Cheyenne's registered name is Lea v Moosbach-Zuzelek and she is out of Billy von Moosbach-Zuzelek and Gela von Rauhenstein. Cheyenne is four years old. Below there are pictures of some of Cheyenne's recoveries in 2008. You can read about her at http://www.huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal_detail.aspx?nID=814
