RE: Paranoia on the blood trail?
22 bowkills, but I'm not an expert tracker. The main technique I rely on to assist tracking is taking close range high odds shots. If I can hit the deer through both lungs I can find it without too much trouble. A large broadhead helps put blood on the ground, if you have enough KE to use it; portable soptlight, Maglight, and lantern also help. I'll be finding the deer myself and the shot will likely be near dark.
