10/5/24. Two tracks with video

 10/5/24. Track #1 Right turn  Leg 1 - 120 yds, Leg - 2 25 yards.  Double laid with scent pads alternating with articles. Recently cut wet grass. 66 degrees. Laid at 7:40, ran it at 7:50.

Good start, good article indications, good turn. A bit squirrelly on the track though. https://youtu.be/27inFqmFHPM?feature=shared

Track #2 Left turn.  Leg 1 - 75 yards, Leg 2 - 22 yards. Double laid with scent pads alternating with articles. Knee high wet grass. Laid at 8:20, ran at 8:30. 

Good start, good article indicating, good turn. Still squirrelly. https://youtu.be/6bKDmU5pmd8?feature=shared

    I’m still liking this. Not sure what you saw as squirrelly—you laid the track diagonally across the mow lines, which will potentially allow the scent to spread along the ‘furrows.’ I would expect to see him cast a bit (actually, a lot more than he did) as he figures this out. On the second track (which was better for sure) at about 1:55 he’s casting off a bit, and it feels like you moved forward? In general, if he’s searching, play out line (a little bit at a time), but don’t move your feet. If your feet move, you are reinforcing him. The general rule is that your feet don’t move unless he’s following the track. None the less, I thought both of these tracks looked good!

1/19/25. Short tracks around fences and woods

 1/19/25. Laid these short tracks one at a time, ran him within 5 minutes and put him in the car to marinate while I laid the next one. Food drops varied between 10-15 steps apart. He got better with each track. Track #1. Struggled at the turn into tall cover  https://youtu.be/imxw4lYuoHA?feature=shared Track #2 short track from tall cover to short towards fence  https://youtu.be/bA4Q4ZZpGu4?feature=shared Track #3 Between 2 fences towards woods  https://youtu.be/R9EverPLGJ8?feature=shared Track #4 Parallel woods and turn away  https://youtu.be/88B4jnpOJYc?feature=shared

2/27/25. Blind Hangman at PSP

Image
 2/27/25. Blind Hangman - phone view   https://youtu.be/eGHwtjU4ANI?feature=shared At 1:29 I saw the head turn and he looked back at me so I slowed down and put a little pressure on the line.                                             Go Pro view   https://youtu.be/QFmWaBCJbFs?feature=shared Great head turn and stare at me at 1:37, 1:38. I think I should have stopped instead of slowed down?? 60 degrees, gusts up to 29 mph, 46% humidity     Laid at 9:25, ran at 10:40ish Good start, good articles, stayed with track The random gloves that were 5 yds past the end of the hangman drew him forward and then he is used to continuing on straight after finding an article, so he went straight on. Andrea stopped us and then we did the back up routine until he found the leg. I was happy with our overall performance.
