Default RE: Help me track

The best method I have found for tracking is to go slow and always mark the last place you see blood. I usually use my arrow as the marker. Try to get a couple people to help if its a tough tracking assignment, but the key is not to get ahead of yourself and to go slow. Some people rush ahead and there footsteps actually cover up the blood on accident. I have definately crawled to find blood and its paid off.Also when the blood stops makecircles around the last blood spotted, deer double back all the time(they dont alwaysrun in a straight line)If that doesnt work, I let my German Shorthair have a hand at it. Sometimes he can just smell the deer and go running to it.

Your lucky if you have never tracked a deer. Im always involved in at least one tufftracking job a year either for myself or friends and family.
