I'm color blind and tracking is a very difficult thing for me. Blood just doesn't jump out at me like it does for others, but if I go slowly and take my time, I usually get it done.

One thing I have learned....you won't find a colorblind woman.....and they can see blood from a mile away usually. When I'm really struggling, I'll go get my wife or daughter to help. She can point out the small amounts of blood, so I can decipher what's happened.

The tip about paying attention to how the deer holds it's tail is good too....a really hurt deer will often "swirl" it's tail in circles. A great big white flag......usually, but not always indicates a miss or marginal hit.
