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.

There isn't a lot of real nature in the Netherlands.. so Tillo is only loose when there are other dogs around. I don't know if I trust him more.. But I don't like to see him off leash when other dogs can run free.. Next to our home there is a field with 4 roads around it.. Tillo does walk off leash here.. I just hope and pray he stays with the rest of the dogs….
@Medik: love the pics!

Yes, we have a lot of places without roads. I trust my dog, but I often use long leash and harness as Janneke. Basenji is "free", and the leash lies on land. He obeys much more with it. But if he sees hares on field he becames earless, than I have "ten meters long time" to stand up to a lash and stop my basenji:D
