Running trash, I don't know.
Moderators: Pike Ridge Beagles, Aaron Bartlett
All I know is I wouldn't shock unless I SEE trash. It's one thing to grab them and pull them off a trail you're really not sure about, but don't shock until you're 100% certain.

Dropping them on a seen deer is phase I.
Phase II
Purchase or borrow a Deer dog. Attach a 20-30 ft check cord to the collar of the deer dog. On the opposite end of the check cord attach a 1x1x24" piece of lumber. Tie the free end of the cord into the middle of the wood forming a T. Place a electronic collar on your deer runner. Turn it up to 5 or 6. Find a deer standing in the field. Drop both dogs on the track. The deer dog will run it, the trashy dog should follow. Wait until they go 50 yards or so or until your trash runner is running good (use your judgement). Stimulate the trash runner, show no mercy. Shock him all the way back to the truck. This method is not for the faint at heart. Also, you will have better results using this method in the fall of the year when deer are rutting. They have a stronger scent then than in the summer. The purpose of the check cord and stick attached to the deer runner is to stop him when he gets in the woods. Also remember, all dogs can not be broken. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what bad habits you can tolerate.
