  • On this episode, Matt Gagnon shares the powerful capabilities of dogs trained for blood tracking and recovery of big game. Matt and his colleagues across the US are deeply passionate dog owners and practitioners of a skillset that, when needed and leveraged, can literally save a hunt from the most unfortunate of outcomes...a hit but unrecovered animal.

    Matt’s love and passion for his Malinois and her capabilities is the ultimate example of the deep bonds and history between humans, dogs and hunting.
