I've been without a dog for quite a while. The freedom is nice, but the companionship and adventures from years gone by are missed. Been mulling over the benefit of a good blood trailing dog. Be good for my son and I plus to get out to assist others in finding their deer. I don't have any real experience with this type of trailing or the dogs used for such fun. Could a beagle work? I used to love rabbit hunting over my well trained hounds, but a multipurpose dog would be even more interesting.
Any experiences in this to share?
