Do they come by that profession naturally or is there extensive training?

Here we run deer with hounds but I’ve never heard of a local recovery dog.
He was as turn key as any dog I’ve had. He came from a long line of law enforcement and deer trackers. I did super minimal training with him, small tracks in the back yard with deer parts as a small pup. His first real track was such an eye opener, trust the dog more than the shooter. Shooter was telling me the deer went 180 degrees from where the dog was pulling we did a few big circles and dog kept going the same direction as the shooter was telling me the dog is wrong. I trusted the dog and another 150 yards we were back on blood and about 300 more we found him. The shooter went the direction “he went” and got lost. I called him and said I found the buck and he said how is that possible he didn’t go that way. The dog keys in on the individual deer, he’ll pass over 10 beds then find the wound bed of the deer he’s tracking. I’ve been learning so much on what deer do when they are wounded.
