Dog Trackers in Bourbon County, Kansas

Bourbon County features thick river bottoms and rolling hills that can make recovery difficult after a shot. When a blood trail goes cold in the brush around Fort Scott, a trained tracking dog is often the only way to find your deer. These handlers use scent-focused dogs to navigate the dense timber and tall grass common in this part of Southeast Kansas.

There are currently two dog trackers available to assist hunters in the area, including Austin Schofield out of Fort Scott. These trackers are familiar with the local terrain and understand how to work through difficult tracking conditions. Contacting a professional early increases your chances of a successful recovery before the coyotes or the weather get to your harvest.
