Hi there my name is Alf, I live in New Zealand, I am 63 years old and have been hunting since I was 9, I mostly hunt deer and have hunted extensively in Australia and New Zealand. I have been using Dogs as indicators for many years now, stating with G.S.P s' then G.S.P cross Boarder Collies, and now training a full Boarder Collie. I train these dogs to walk just in front of you around 5 yards, to find deer and point when close in thick bush.

Here is a video of my two year old dog Mistie, Here she is about a year old learning to track and indicate fresh deer tracks.
The first is her tracking a Red deer stag and the second is her getting close to a deer, we ended up spooking this one because of the noisy ground cover and thick bush, but good training regardless.

Here is a video of my newest dog Tyne he is a one year old full blood Border Collie, here he needs to be calm and steady, doing really well especially when the deer breaks.

Re: Sika...new member
No cjhills no shooting in those videos, It is an area walking distance from my home, happens to have a few Red Deer in it, makes for good training but not a great area to hunt due to dry leaves under foot, not too bad after a good rain though.
