Dog Trackers in Hamilton County, Illinois

When you are tracking a wounded deer through the thick brush and creek bottoms of Hamilton County, it is easy to lose the trail. The hardwoods and agricultural fields around Dahlgren offer plenty of cover for a hit buck to disappear. If the blood trail dries up, bringing in a trained tracking dog is often the only way to recover your harvest before the coyotes find it or the meat spoils in the humidity.

There is currently one specialized tracking service available in the county, based out of Dahlgren. Josh Wiggins provides dog tracking assistance to help local hunters locate deer that have gone to ground in difficult terrain. Having a contact ready in the northern part of the county can save you hours of searching and ensure you do not lose a trophy in the thickets.
