I am a true case of full blown red-green colorblindness. The gene is traced throughout the family. My brother has it, my mother's brother has it, all my grandmother's brothers have it, and all my sister's kids will inevitably have it too. I have been rifle hunting deer for 10 years now, and dropped all my deer (and elk) dead in their tracks but two. The first one, my my father had to track till we found it nearly 100 yards away. And last year I had to have my girlfriend track my trophy muley 20 yards into the trees where it died. Pretty embarassing for at the time being a 25 year-old with several deer under his belt.
Now that I'm bow hunting, I'm afraid that I will be faced with blood trailing situations more often. I was wondering if anyone here has a similar problem, and what I could do to help my odds of recovering future animals that need to be trailed. I would very much like to be able to independantly find my own animals after the shot.
