utah!
imo i actually think its a good idea to have a tracking dog. there are far too many animals wounded and lost. if this helps retrieve even a few then i think its worht it!
about the pts not being eliminated. i never understood why they did that to bgin with. not that big of a deal. if they dont apply for ten years welll fine thats there choice they invested the money the should get to keep the points
+1 on leashed tracking dogs. Very common in Africa to use Jack Russell terriers to track wounded animals. Very helpful when night is falling or rain/snow is messing with the trail.
