Dog Trackers in Crawford County, Illinois

Crawford County offers a mix of heavy timber and creek bottoms that can make recovery difficult after the shot. When a blood trail gives out near the Embarras River or in the thick brush outside of Robinson, a tracking dog is often the most reliable way to locate your deer. These handlers understand the local terrain and how the wind moves through the river hills.

We currently have one tracking service listed in the county, based out of Flat Rock. Jonathan Beachy provides dog tracking assistance to hunters throughout the area. If you have a hit but can't find the deer, it is best to back out early and call for a dog before the trail gets cold or contaminated by too much foot traffic.
