Hey guys
I have picked up a deer hide from the butcher and I have frozen a quarter of it.
I have a lot left over and is it worth preserving somehow to use for scent training? I don’t have any space in the freezer for it now.
I have the deer dog blueprint but won’t be following it so closely due to the dog living in the wash house already.
Any tips on the scent training?
Cheers :thumbsup:
You could try salting and drying it?
find a place and set up a drag. See if the dog is interested.
Good excuse for a bigger freezer. I'd prob try air drying some to try and preserve the deer smell.
Thanks guys, I am thinking along the lines of air drying and salting it.
Do I need to scrape all the flesh and fat off before I do so?
A new freezer is definitely on my shopping list over the next few months
air dry a strip of it, its only used at the end of a drag anyway.. i just freeze a couple of feet to start the tracking process then progress to a spray bottle filled with the moisture and blood from a fresh wet skin, then progress to just the blood only.
Ok sweet thanks for that @kawhia.
