Default RE: Being prepared for tracking.....

Jeff, if you're out there tracking long enough to need toilet paper, you'd better improve your shooting.

Another one is to have no more than 3 in your tracking party and some say that is one too many.

I realize that was a joke, but for the newer hunters TP is a good thing to use to mark last blood. Easy to see and is biodegradeable.

Another good tip there Bry. I will only take 2 other people out with me when I'm tracking a deer or bear. During bear season I give my customers specific instructions not to look for their bear after the shot. They must come get me. Then I head up the search and give specific instructions on how the track is going to go. My number 1 rule is, no one is supposed to walk out in front of me, ever. I find that a lot of the people that hunt with me have no clue how to track and I don't want them stepping on blood or turning leaves over that may have the key peice of evidence I am looking for.
