Texas’ Archery Only and Managed Lands Deer seasons got underway Sept. 28. The general season starts Nov. 2, one week after what is sure to be a busy Youth Only hunting weekend that runs Oct. 25-27. It’s showtime for an army Texas K-9s that live for deer season and the chance to put their noses to work to help hunters recover animals they otherwise may not find.
Sniffing out a whitetail that runs off after a bow or rifle shot that doesn’t find the right mark can be a tedious task, but somebody has got to do it. Folks who have seen “Scout” and “Dago” tend to business will argue they are pretty good hands.
Scout is a spirited little Jack Russell Terrier female handled by Jared Polasek of Hudson; Dago, a salty hound/cur cross female trained by Jeff Glende of Orange.
