The
United Blood Trackers is going to hold a three day Blood Tracking Workshop on JUNE 1-3 at Coon Rock Horse and Hunt Club, Arena,
WI, 45 minutes west of Madison. This workshop is
for both beginner and advanced dogs and handlers as well as anyone else
interested in learning more about the use of blood tracking dogs for the
recovery of wounded big game. There will be plenty of hands-on training in the
field for dogs and handlers as well as presentations on topics such as Training
Techniques, Working with Puppies and Adolescents, Equipment Choices, GPS Use,
and Working with Hunters. As a new feature this year we will also be holding a
Hit Site Evaluation Seminar. This new seminar will focus on reading sign at the
hit site as well as reading sign found along the trail in order to develop the
proper strategy for tracking that particular animal. The Workshop Instructors
will be UBT Judges: John Jeanneney (NY), Larry Gohlke (WI), Andy Bensing (PA),
Cheri Faust (WI), Chuck Collier (MI) and Al Wade (AL).

getting the word out about this event.

You get to see all kinds of tracking dogs at a UBT Trackfest. The below pics were taken at various trackfests in the past.
I wish I had time to travel this summer! I would love to go to trackfest since it is less than 2 hours from my parents place. Maybe my next US trip will coincide with some UBT or NATC events. I'd love to learn more about the American system.
