A pictorial history of my relationship with the German Hunting Terrier. AKA the Deutscher Jagdterrier. I currently have three of them working and will occasionally breed a litter for sale.
This hog was in a herd of several dozen and was shot in the hind quarter by the hunter as it turned to run away. I let the Kubi off lead and within 2 minutes he had picked it out of the jumble of hog scent went right to it and had it bayed when we got there 10 minutes later to finish the game. There was a very scant blood trail and we would have never found this hog without a good dog. They are worth their weight gold .
This is Nitro at 6 months old. he followed this boars blood trail on lead for about 400 yards where we found him dead.
Dead hog on a stump. Another blood tracking job as a puppy. This is Nitro at 6 or 7 months old. He followed this hog on lead for several hundred yards where we found him dead. While this wasn't a particularly difficult blood trail the difference when you have a blood tracker is that it is an express train to the animal there is no milling around loosing the trail then finding it again. It cuts the tracking time on average about 80%. And you can keep your head up looking for the critter while the dog does all the work.
Once I started hunting with my dogs I started getting lots of multiple kills. I let kubi out of the truck when he signaled. He darted into a field and started hazing these three hog. They were confused and worried about the dog and didn't even notice me. I got into about 50 yards and waited until each one was clear and picked them off one at time, it was just that easy. I don't let ANYBODY else do this though as you really have to be careful about picking your shots when you've got a dog involved.
Rain on a blood trail? No problem I've had my dogs track various critters two days after a hard rain with no visible blood on the ground.
Gut shot right at dark. It doesn't matter we'll find that hog in the dark just as easy as in the light.
Thank god for a good tracking dog. Once again wounded right before sundown. No problem on the recovery if you've got the right tools.
Works in the hot sun too.
Take off into the swamp after the shot . My dogs LOVE water we'll find your even in the water and mud..
Don't run, you'll only die tired. We were taking a walk when these two busted out of cover the dog was on them within a minute or two and they were nice and bayed up when I got there. Bang Bang flop flop. Man I love double rifles....
Okay I didn't really "need" a tracking dog after putting a .474 cal hole through this hogs lungs BUT this picture has three of my most dearly held possessions. My double rifle, my dog and my time in the field hunting.
