Don't hurry when the trail is obvious. It's not going anywhere... take your time and learn.
Dave,
That's a great piece of advice for
ANYbowhunter. Every blood trail has a story to tell, and if you read it along the way the animal at the end will help you put it all together. That's valuable experience that will help when things aren't as simple as point A and point B with a clear blood trail in between.
Well done.
