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.

Hello, everyone. I have a pretty basenji girl name Cleo who is now a 11 yr old. I got her when she was 6 yrs old from a basenji rescue group. I got her a few months after losing my last dog who was a basenji mix who I had from 2month to his death at 15 yrs. Cleo is quite the character. She a sweet, silly and loving girl but a bit of a grump. She is in love with a greyhound and her best friend is a german shepard. Of course, neither of them bark much which she likes. She has had quite a lot of health problems the past 2 yrs ago, but has bounced back to her old self.
