Episode 88 – Mikael Andersson: Blood Tracking & Boar Work

In this episode, Erik and Adam sit down with Mikael Andersson for a focused and experience-based conversation on wounded game hunting, blood tracking, and wild boar pen work in Sweden.

We dive into what happens after the shot — when responsibility truly begins. Mikael shares real-world insights into tracking wounded game, reading dog behavior under pressure, and preparing young dogs for controlled exposure in boar pens.

The discussion moves between breed traits, scent imprinting, recall challenges, and the ethical use of training tools. We also touch on protective vests, gear development, and why equipment should always be tested in realistic scenarios before entering the field.

At its core, this episode centers on responsibility, preparation, and the partnership between handler and dog when situations become serious.

Highlights include:

Blood tracking and wounded game recovery

Wild boar pen training and evaluation

Reading and managing dog behavior

Ethical use of training tools

Protective gear and field preparation

A grounded conversation about dog work, ethics, and the realities of hunting beyond the first shot.
