This is a fascinating video that Andy Bensing put together of a deer call he had last weekend. Andy wrote: The deer was gut shot and the hunter did not wait the amount of time I suggested before tracking so we ended up pushing the deer for a total of 4 ½ miles over an almost 3 hour period. The first part of the video shows via GPS mapping the route the big buck took in trying to evade its pursuers and the last 5 minutes shows the hunter and I enjoying the celebration of the completed mission. I think this video gives good insight into what wounded deer sometimes do and how dogs as well as handlers have to sometimes think and strategize to get the job done.

Andy,
Great informative video once again!
Oh what a video!!! Very exciting and very educatable for those who dont´t know anything about tracking. To track so long time and many miles shows what a good dog it is. Thank you for sharing this!!!
My friend Greg called me from Louisiana to tease me after he watched this video. He said us northerners have it all wrong. He would have had that deer in 10 minutes with his dog down in LA instead of a 3 hour track like I had. Not that the southern dogs are so much better but that where he tracks, he can unleash the dog and let it bay the deer. I agree, it would have been quicker to cut the dog loose but unfortunately that is not legal in most states. I would like to go south some time and give it a try with my dog. I think she would love it.
Nice job Andy and Eibe. Congrats on one more successful track!
Thanks Andy, really enjoyed it. Great job,great video,great track and a great dog
What an enjoyable video, that's what it's all about...
congrats to both of you!
Nice job Andy.
But I seriously hope for you American Trackers that one day you will be allowed to use unleashed work when the deer jumps the woundbed.
Regards from Denmark.
Nice to see you here Lars!
