similar activities.

Blood Trackers his influence has extended far beyond New York State into over
22 other states and several Canadian
Provinces. With his leadership and experience he helped get this practice
established in many areas. John

initial volunteers.
He continues to be active and personally went on 1007 searches in the
past 35 years, including 45 in 2010 and 34 in 2011. John also has a strong influence on
regular tracking skills and ethics with
his many speaking engagements and with his books on tracking and the use of
leashed tracking dogs.
The annual banquet and
induction will involve sportsmen and organizations from all across New York State .
It will be held April 28 at the Rusty Rail in Canastota with

Our congratulations to John!! Thats an honour to get that. You do a great work. And tracking should be more common all over the US like here in Sweden.
Hugs from all of us.
