Dog Trackers in Woodford County, Illinois

Woodford County hunters dealing with a lost trail in the thick bottoms near Spring Bay or the timber around Kappa have options for recovery. When a hit doesn't produce a clear blood trail or the deer crosses onto thick private ground, these local handlers provide tracking dogs to help finish the job. It beats grid searching for hours and increases the odds of recovering your buck before the coyotes find it.

We currently have two trackers listed in this area, including Mitch Atherton out of Spring Bay. These teams are familiar with the local terrain along the Illinois River and the agricultural woodlots throughout the county. If you have a marginal hit, it is best to back out immediately and call one of these handlers to discuss the sign before the trail gets cold.
