Certified leashed tracking dogs now available for recovery of game, free

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is providing a list of certified leashed tracking dog owners who volunteer during the hunting seasons to help hunters locate deer or bear that have been shot during hunting season but not yet recovered.

The leashed tracking dog owners, who provide their services free of charge, must pass an extensive exam administered by Fish and Wildlife in order to be certified and licensed to provide their services.

The list, which may be updated during hunting seasons, is available at vtfishandwildlife.com.

Please note that calls will be taken at the handler’s discretion and at the availability of the handler.
