I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

Too funny that you're in RWC. We just moved from there to Fremont. We used to frequent the dogpark in Foster City.

Would love to meet up! Cassie absolutely loves playing with other dogs and is super friendly. We haven't taken Panda out yet since he still needs to finish off his shots but we think he's a friendly little guy, if not a bit shy.

Welcome! We are close to Fremont as well.
Some of us already met up in Palo Alto 2-3 month ago, I think now we have even more basenjis to a have a big meetup.
Please post meetup details in the existing Bay Area thread or start a new one:
