Tracking downed game is almost as exciting as shooting. I thoroughly enjoy tracking game, even if its to help someone else out. I think its the need to bring closure to the hunt and harvest the animal that makes it enjoyable. Coming up empty-handed is very frustrating. Especially after having decent blood then having it diminish to nothing. Last year I got a call from a friend that he hit a real nice buck in archery and wanted an extra hand tracking. So I headed over, and managed to pick up on new blood to extend our tracking efforts further. What started out to be a promising blood trail I couldn't imagine not finding it. After hours and hours of searching, andcircling we just couldn't find any more blood or sign of the deer and this was afterabout 150-200yds of a blood trail. The worst feeling is when you decide to give up knowing how it started and not ending up grabbing the horns.
