Thread: Training Ace

Having seen the quality of my mates dog using the deer dog blueprint method of training I thought I'd have a go myself.
It's not easy with a family to do what he says and I'm not very good at sticking to the rules.

I have probably hit the bush a little early(6mnths) but he did well yesterday. First taking me in on some pigs(couldn't quite find them but they were close in front in tight stuff) then too many hours later finding the first bit of goat shit for the day.
At that point he started to hackle up but with blustery wind I couldn't pin down where it was. Knowing the steep country above I decided to see if I could find his bluff and sure enough, when I did, there was a scattering of sign from 3 or so goats.
I then used this as a good ground sent to help him take me back to where we'd been winding the goat and he pretty much put me 10m away in tight steep bush. Gave him a 308 sub(+two more for certainty) and Aces first game animal was on the ground.

Thought I'd put it on here so I can look back one day and see where it all started with him.
