As has been said, I follow every blood trail as if I don't know if the deer is down or not (even if I saw it go down). I love following a blood trail and more than once I have left my deer and gone back to do it all over again to see what I have missed. I beg my friends every year to please call if they need help tracking. When my dad and I get to hunt together we usually fight while trailing a deer as I'm slow and methodical and he likes to start circling ahead and in my opinion screws up evidence. THen we argue, then we find the deer and then its high fives, I love it. Wish we could hunt more together.

I will say I am a very good tracker, but there have been a few I've had trouble with and then its a call to mommy and beg her to come out to the woods. 30 years old and I'm still dependant on mom! She can see blood that I have missed over and over again and has found 2 deer for me that I was ready to quit on. I seriously have thought about renting her out during hunting season! (for finding deer you pervs!)
