Go back and find the blood. If he is leaving spots the size of baseballs and your hand then you are missing it because it's there. What you have to find is the small stuff that ties the big spots together. It may just be drops so you have to look HARD.

Find the blood and back track a bit and then put toilet paper on limbs to mark his path.........step back and look along the paper trail and it will give you a good idea what direction he is going. Be careful where you walk because you might be covering up what you are looking for.
