My buddy from Va. shot a nice 10 pt the other day...He was using a 12 gauge 3 1/2 buck shot..pretty sure two of the three shots hit the deer...left a good blood trail ..then it just stopped...we never found the deer... beeen looking for buzzards the last couple days but none so far...
what is a good trail dog..to get and train for tracking deer?

I would figure a bloodhound would be your best bet mud, but most blueticks I've coonhunted with were very "cold nosed" and will pick up a older trail quicker than other breeds.......I don't know how easy the training of one to track wounded deer would be though.
Beagles might would work?

I have a buddy who has beagles...his tracker won't track at night for some reason..he took him three times over on state land and the refuge to track at night..no go.. now thats his dog..not saying that about all beagles..
I knew a man who had an old fiest /curr dog that was the best trail dog i've seen

Small dogs are better. A lot of people use currs or fiests. Several people Ive talked to swear by a Lab though. They dont track with thier nose to the ground though so they look funny on a blood trail.

Most of the guys around here that have dogs trained for blood trailing use Labs. We used to have a guy in the club that used this fat ole "bird dog". It looks like an English Pointer with advanced stage biscuit poisoning.
