Thinking of getting one for both stalking and usual pointing bird work. Anyone know much about how good they are as stalking dogs?

Took my Lab on as a rescue. Previous owners had beaten him into a nervous wreck doesn't trust men much and will only let a man stand next to him if I am there up until a few months ago he is obviously now trusting me enough to allow some men touch him now which is great. He is 3 had his first part season picking up last he and has a fantastic nose not sure if he would be steady enough on deer, he tends to hunt and retrieve well but once all birds picked he has a habit of going of on a wander but a lot if his problems are down to previous life. Can you use a Labrador to track and still pick

My Lab has great nose but a bit on the hyper don't think he would be steady enough. Looking at HWV mainly woodland stalking open fields around them. So far we haven't needed a dog, but thinking if we take clients out possibility might do in the future. Love pointing breeds but not heard much about HWV as stalking dogs

I run a shooting estate both driven shooting and deer stalking rights. We are starting to take out clients stalking and thinking of getting a dog specifically for stalking, already have Spaniels, Labs and setters for grouse counting. Peoples thoughts on the best dogs to use?
