How to Blood Trail a Deer

[@jamesmartin7282]

Thanks for the video. I'm teaching a Bowhunter class but we're doing the class in the suburbs. We can't simulate a blood trail as we would normally do, but blood trailing is a required topic so your video may just do the trick.

Good job! I'm a good bit older and I suggest the following. I carry surveyors tape and use a 3 inch piece along the blood trail as I find it. Tracker dogs don't follow blood, at least the good ones, they follow an inter digital scent that a mortally wounded deer leaves as they move. Hogs do the same. It is waxy and can withstand some rain and even a 24 hour time period. They can follow this scent even if the deer is bleeding internally. If the dog gives up , usually means it's not a mortal hit. Good, i mean bright, flash light is a must for night. Get down on all fours and line up the trail to get a probability of the path the deer might be moving. Seems that as they loose blood they will break off in a right or left angle so if you can't find the next drops in a line, look to either side of the last drops.

Okay so I shot one the other day a nice buck he was quartering towards me took a shot at the shoulder with a 30-30 blood started out very small and then a very good blood trail then all of a sudden the blood faded off small again and completely lostthere was some chunks in the blood I'm kind of thinking that I didn't get an exit wound any thoughts?

When you say chunks in the blood do you mean like coagulated blood? Sometimes muscle hits will bleed a lot and then stop and the blood you find on the ground is usually coagulated.
