Little photo dump from over the weekend. The weather was perfect for a hike, and to snap a few pics.

This was Archer's track from the other day. Even though I pushed it out as far as we could in the evening, the heat was an issue again. This track was 880 yards, hoof only, and aged 24 hrs.

As you can see he did really well up till we got to the bigger right hand turn. At that point he was panting a lot and started to do his bigger loops. The woods actually opened up in that area from the thick w**d cover we were working through which I'm sure affected how well the area held the scent. We stopped there to get water, and let him cool off.

I was really happy with how determined he was to keep working the track even after I asked him multiple times if he wanted a drink and to take a break. I had to force him to stop. We even jumped a deer that was literally standing on our line along the way, and he kept trucking down the line.

I ended up working in a backtrack, I lost a strap off of my tracking shoes so i went back and forth trying to find where it fell off at and there was a spot I could cut off the line at and work around the area. He worked the backtrack beautifully, found the way out, and then made a couple circles after to make sure he was right.

Being able to look back at his line and see how things developed, and knowing how we handled it is so good to know. It gives me confidence going forward to know what to look for, and how to handle some of those situations when they arise in the future.

Excited for the next season for us, it will be here before we know it. Until then we will continue to grind, and be as prepared as we can be for season opener.
