When you're laying a track and you come upon mushrooms, what do you do?

by buckeyefan gsd on 13 October 2010 - 23:10

are they magic mushrooms?

by Don Corleone on 13 October 2010 - 23:10

No. I don't track cow pastures.

what do mushrooms do to the track? throw off the scent?

by Don Corleone on 13 October 2010 - 23:10

Well I'm not a mushroom guru and I'm coming across them regularly. I don't know which ones are harmful or not. If one is in my path, I pick it and chuck it off the track. I'd hate to crush one in a footprint and have the dog eat it when we run the track. If it's outside of a print, I don't mess with them. When I see rabbit or deer shit, I leave it. Just don't want a toxic reward for the dog.

oh ok, thats what I thought after I posted.

make sure to wash your hands when picking them, toxic spores ect could still be on your hands, and then transfer to the bait you lay on the track.

Haven't come across that yet but I'd probably chuck it. Better safe than sorry.

I have my dogs in fields and mountains all over VA and there are mushrooms everywhere and never knew a dog to even look at them or smell them they just always ignore them. I mean i have come up on small patches of 50 or 60 and dogs just go around them and keep on going. Tracking in fields where they are I have stepped on them and around them and never a problem
