You should know in advance how to bloodtrail if you are hunting
How can you know in advance if you are a new hunter. Say it was someones first deer, no prior track jobs to go from, how are they supposed to know? A book will teach these guys everything they need to know? I highly doubt it.
For once in my lifetime, I am going to agree with NY Bowhunter. IF we can be a part of teaching people to track, then we should help.
And if you are coming to the message boards less and less because of these posts...well then it has been nice having you here. Cuz I don't beleive it will ever stop.
