๐Ÿ’ฌ (507) 273-6750 Our dedicated service is here to assist hunters in locating wounded deer using our highly trained tracking dog, Arrow. WHO ARE WE:
This is our second full season in operation, and we take immense pride in the miraculous recoveries we've witnessed. Our tracking dog, Arrow, is a 2-year-old wirehaired teckel, certified by United Blood Trackers (UBT II). The nose knows, and I trust Arrow's incredible ability to locate mortally wounded deer. As her handler, it's a privilege to be part of her successful tracking endeavors. OUR PASSION:
Whitetail deer are more than just a hobby for usโ€”they're a year-round passion. From monitoring them on cameras, establishing habitats, planting food plots, to shed hunting, we live and breathe whitetail deer. As my children grow, I find greater joy in watching them harvest their deer, which fuels my dedication to helping other hunters recover their trophies. This service allows me to stay involved and share my extensive knowledge of whitetail deer with fellow enthusiasts. SERVICE AREA:
Based east of Rochester in Olmsted County, we serve hunters across Southeastern Minnesota, including Olmsted, Fillmore, Houston, Wabasha, Goodhue, Winona, Mower, Dodge, Steele, and Freeborn counties. We typically travel within an hour from our location, depending on availability. We're proud members of Minnesota Tracking Dogs and United Blood Trackers. If you're uncertain about tracking your deer, avoid disturbing the scent line to prevent complications in the recovery effort. Contact us to discuss shot placement, wound signs, and other details. We'll determine together the best course of action and wait times. If we're unavailable, we'll do our best to connect you with another local tracker. CONTACT US:

If hunting near private property, please seek permission in advance if there's a possibility the deer crossed into another property. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

๐Ÿšจ THIS IS A BIG DEAL HERE! ๐Ÿšจ

Introducing 10 year old Rhett and his FIRST BUCK, during archery season no less! Lil killaโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿน๐ŸฆŒ

Rhett fell into a little luck this week while sitting in a tree with his dad Dustin, waiting for his opportunity. Well, opportunity came knocking and Rhett put the smack down on this nice 8 point!

We didnโ€™t see the first blood sign for about 50 yards, but Arrow had the scoop and made an efficient track to recover this young hunterโ€™s deer. ๐Ÿพ Youth tracks just hit different, and a prize at the end is the topping on the cake. And we looooove topping!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™Œ

Rhett was in school while the dirty work went down, but once we had deer in hand, Dustin called in a โ€œdentist appointmentโ€ ๐Ÿ˜† JK! He brought Rhett in so he could learn the ropes, follow the track himself and seal the deal.

High fives little dude! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ Big congrats on a very nice first buck. Thatโ€™s a hunt you wonโ€™t forget! ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿน๐Ÿ’•

A team effort for the tailgate on this one! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ

Mike called after dark after running into someone at the Lewiston KT. They got talking about the buck he had shot and was struggling to recover, and thankfully they passed our name along.

A little more to the story, Mike has been battling some spine and nerve issues and is headed into surgery soon. His doctors told him if he wanted to get some hunting in, he better do it now. Walking any distance is tough as his legs become weak and numb, so I couldnโ€™t resist helping, but knew Iโ€™d need some backup. I called my brother Chad cuz he absolutely loves dragging deer ๐Ÿ˜†. Teamwork makes the dreamwork, right?

We arrived and put Arrow down just before midnight, nearly 5 hours post shot. She made smooth work of the track to a fresh bed, and about that time, on the other side of a downed tree, the buck got up and hobbled off. We didnโ€™t have the intel and werenโ€™t in a position to continue pushing the track any farther, so we backed out.

I wasnโ€™t available the next day, but thankfully Chad & his dog Briar were. A couple hundred yards later Briar tracked her way to Mikeโ€™s buck! Chad field dressed it with his super sharp knife ๐Ÿคช and completed the drag for one happy hunter.

Thanks Chad & Briar for the assist ๐Ÿพ Happy we could help Mike out, and even happier he got a successful hunt in before surgery. Congrats on the venison! ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐ŸฆŒ Don Owen, Fillmore County, MN ๐Ÿน

A little opening week success just hits different!

Don felt like his shot may have been a little back, but initially he was still feeling pretty decent about it. After tracking for quite some time, though, the blood became sparse and at times he was following nothing but hoof prints. Just over 400 yards in, with the track heading into CRP, he decided to back out and put in a request through the TRAKR app.

We connected and picked it up the next day, about 17 hours post-shot.

Not gonna lie, for the first part of this track it felt like Arrow just wasnโ€™t having her best day. Whether it was the bare dirt under the thick canopy, the high deer density, fresh deer traffic, or something else, she had to work for it and definitely had me scratching my head a little.

After working through the known track, we finally reached the edge of the woods where it transitioned into CRP. Thankfully, thatโ€™s where Arrow locked in like Iโ€™m used to seeing. She made quick work of advancing the track another 130 yards and reunited Don with his dandy 9-point buck. ๐ŸฆŒโœ…

Done deal.

Congratulations again, Don! Thanks for trusting the UncleTracker team and letting us be a part of your hunt. ๐Ÿพ

1:1 to start the season sure feels good. 100% recovery rateโ€ฆ for now ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿพ

Opening day success for Sam on his first archery buck! Unsure of the shot and dark setting in, he played it safe and lined us up for the assist.

Arrow went to work the next morning and took us 120 yards with no sign along the way, leading us to this nice bluff country buck. ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿพ

Congratulations Sam on your first archery buck, and thanks for trusting the UncleTracker Team for the assist! Arrow was especially thankful for the call. She was more than ready to get back at it! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿพ

On the board with some opening weekend success! ๐ŸฆŒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ.  First recovery of the 2026 season. Letโ€™s go!
