I don't know of any professional or semi-professional trainers that train dogs to track wounded deer in this area of the country.

You have some nahvda folks up there and some DKV folks that do train and test blood tracking. You might want to look into thier methods.

NAVHDA chapters sponsor four kinds of tests:
The Natural Ability Test which is designed to evaluate the inherent natural abilities of young dogs and gain insight into their possible usefulness as versatile gun dogs. It rates seven important inherited abilities: nose, search, tracking, pointing, water, desire and cooperation.
