RE: Trailing Deer - Color Blind
what about tracking with a dog? not sure if it is legal where you are or not and i have never done it but it seems like a reasonable solution for the few times you need additional help

RE: Trailing Deer - Color Blind
I have been told that a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle will foam when it hits blood. Does this actually work? If so, what ratio to use? Any other suggestions

OutdoorLife article on tracking deer with dogs
New York, Wisconsin, Maine, Vermont, Indiana, Texas, British Columbia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Alaska all recently passed laws to allow the use of dogs to recover deer and other big game. It is also legal to use a dog to track wounded deer in most of the South, though some states regulate it on the county level. In general, the practice is gaining acceptance across the country, but you should review the regulations to be sure it's legal where you hunt.

RE: Trailing Deer - Color Blind
The H. peroxide is cheap, no need to dilute it with water. Being partially color blind myself I have used it in the past and it will bubble up really nice even when no blood is visible. I have used the game tracker years ago but like you say it is unrealiable and can effect arrow flight..........dabow
