out walking a couple of weeks ago with my patterdale in some woods i decided to go off the beaten track. there was lots of ferns, bushes, thick undergrowth etc but every so often there were parts that you could tell something had passed through. as soon as we left the track he was at work, head down, sniffing, double backing on himself, going this way then then that way, getting more excited as we went further into the woods. he took me about a mile into the thick woods and there they were, a herd of of about 7 deers! he'd never done this before even though we'd walked in the woods before. so
