Fall #19

 Goal of track: to work turns. The track aged 50 minutes, the most age any of his tracks have had. Food drops were randomized as suggested. Some were eaten some walked over. We had not worked at this site for 2 months but neither newness nor age of track seemed to make a difference. The start was strong. Marked the first turn with a clip. He worked the turn first to left then turned right. 2nd turn was at a broken branch marker. Another right turn. This one he overshot and came back. Last turn was in line with a yard ornament. A left turn that he took right away. Tracking between turns was on for the most part. When he’d get off, I’d get in behind him and he’d come back on.

    Sounds excellent. Let’s try staring at your toes at the turns and see how he does. You know where the turn is, and the direction, so you can feel him take it….and staring at your feet helps prevent accidental cues (we all give them, it’s part of being human)

    your maps look awesome emaline and your consistent use of land marks for turns will make you a better track layer! sounds like otis is doing well. judi's remarks on looking at your feet compliment my 'pay the line without moving your feet', then when he commits - go with, and hustle up the line to keep it at 10 feet.

 Great start! True to track. 1st leg was laid within 8 feet of a woods line. Heavy steps into and out of turns allowed me to add to what I record in my visual memory of his loss of scent behaviors. I will repeat this 2 turn track with 20 heavy steps into and out of both turns. FD at 10 after end of each set of heavy steps. FD pattern at 10 and 14. Article indication pick up at end of track. Water offered and taken. [At the beach through 11/6. Next track 11/7]

 Best day today! Lots of enthusiasm and super turns. At the turns I gave him extra line and he made each turn spot on I thought. I was especially pleased there was one very small (!) whine. Otis did not get drawn into the brush pile. He had a strong pull throughout. Taking his 15 foot line to the beach (away now until 3/21) Hoping to find a small green space for at least some fun starts and article tracks. https://youtu.be/k3Gfdi_9y4c    https://youtube.com/shorts/RUIr-wQi66I

 Today’s track goal was distance/duration. This straight line track was the longest he had ever done at 414 yards. It was windy blowing across the track. The wind did take Otis off a bit consistently to the right but the food drops at 15 and 20 always brought him back to right on. His start was strong without bucking. He tracked with energy and managed passing a roll hay bale with little more than an extra sniff and leg raise before getting back to work. I did put a larger food drop in the track beyond the bale. Otis stopped briefly at a major change in cover (photo) When he started in the right direction I quickly went with him. He loved the tall weeds, Spanish needles and high grass! His tracking was even stronger. I assume the length was holding more scent? There was evidence of quite a few bedding down areas most likely for deer. Put one of the 3 intermediate articles in this area and Otis was right on. Retrieves were high energy today. I was so pleased with the way Otis handle...
