Dog Trackers in Licking County, Ohio
Finding a wounded deer in the thick brush of Licking County can be tough, especially near the corridors along the Licking River or the ridges outside Newark. If you lose the blood trail, calling in a tracking dog is a reliable way to recover your harvest. These trackers use trained dogs to pick up scents that are invisible to the human eye, helping you finish the job when a trail goes cold.
There are currently three local tracking services available in the area, covering towns like Newark and Utica. You can reach out to handlers like Rick Roshon or Seth Mason to assist with your recovery. Most trackers are ready to mobilize quickly throughout the county to help you find your deer before the meat spoils or coyotes get to it.

Using dog trackers in Licking County
A blood tracking dog handler works a leashed dog on the wound line to recover a deer that did not go down in sight. Most handlers are volunteers or charge a modest call fee, and most cover a set radius of counties.
What to ask before you commit
- How far will you travel, and what is your call-out fee?
- How long after the shot can you still work the track?
- What should I do — and not do — while I wait for you?
- Do you need the landowner's permission arranged in advance?
- What lighting or help should I have ready?
What it usually costs
Many handlers work for gas money or a modest flat fee; some charge more for long drives or overnight calls. Recovery is never guaranteed, and fees are usually owed either way.
Timing matters
Call early and stop walking the line. The most common reason a track fails is a hunter and friends grid-searching the area first and contaminating the scent.
