On the 12th of May our friend Neville Black and Philip Quin came to visit for a few days stalking, Neville bought along his bitch 'Heidi' (Deertrackers Una) for us to see, which is the first time since she was eight weeks of age. She is a good looking bitch and has a really good home where she is much loved and gets plenty of work. This visit would be an introduction to Roe for Heidi as back home she hunts Sika and Red deer. Heidi has successfully tracked wounded /fallen beasts in Ireland in all conditions tracking one particular beast for 50 minutes through snow and ice, and another that was shot the previous day at 5pm and she tracked and found the beast 11am the following day. Heidis longest track to date has been a distance of over 1 mile.
Back to Gloucestershire, we divided in to two groups with Steve and his hound ‘Monty’ (Deertrackers Tackler) taking Philip, leaving Neville and Heidi to come with me. I’m glad to say that their trip was successful with both Neville and Philip having multiple successes.
