Thanks for the Kudos Charlie, but I was not on the track of this one. Another friend of ours was with him. The other friend happens to be a phenominal tracker. This deer actually took to walking down a stream bed, in the water, for 1/4 of a mile, and my buddy never lost it. He is the one I call whenever I get " stumped" on a blood trail. But top answer your question Jason N, there was pretty decent blood at times and very little at others. All in all, though, the deer never stopped bleeding.
