October 21, 2007 - Arlo's first findOn October 21, 2007, John with Arlo and I with Elli tracked a wounded deer for Stephen Napiorski and his friend Jeff Mangold. Arlo was a leading dog on this call. The deer was shot at 7am and we tracked him 10 hours later. Arlo did an excellent job and jumped the deer, which was gut shot. We managed to catch up with the deer, which was subsequently dipatched by the hunter.http://jola.smugmug.com/Blood-Tracking/2007-Tracking-Season/October-21-2007-Arlos-first/P1220247/211483537_KPCDm-Ti.jpghttp://jola.smugmug.com/gallery/3693829_iZG7e/2007-10-22T02:11:14ZCopyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
