We got a Boykin spaniel for just this. He is 1 year old and been on 22 tracks this year. Found 20 of the deer. Trailed one to a neighbors property, where we could not get permission to go. Last week, trailed one for over 2 miles, when it started to rain. Based on blood and a couple of quick glimpses of the deer, it was decided that one would heal fine and we gave it up. He is owned by the ranch manager and spends most days in the truck with him and all over the ranch. Wonderful, happy dog who loves to trail. Only issue is, he does not bark when he finds the deer.
