I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
Hi there
-
I noticed a couple of my basenji videos that I posted on You Tube ended up linked to the Basenji Forum. I feel flattered! I thought I'd see if I could figure out how they ended up here, but I got side tracked browsing around. I found I couldn't do much wandering around as a guest, so here I am as a new member! Now where are my videos…..
I have Chaos, a three and a half year old full AF dark brindle male. He's extremley laid back, never really yodels but he does yowl, growl, and can do this angry camel noise when upset. He lives with four cats, a Jack Russell-Beagle mix and way too many fish.
