[QUOTE="gst, post: 36667, member: 373"] What the hell kdm, you didn;t even mention........................Well you forgot............................um I bet not many deer escape that process. One of the things we do along with what you shared is carry a roll of trail tape to mark blood when it is not a good trail. (maybe that is how you "mark" the last spot also) Looking back with the flashlight seeing trail tape is a way to get a line of travel to move forward to look for new blood. Last fall the kids buck he shot with his bow (a bit back but it worked) made a circle damn near right back to where he shot him. As we were standing by the bed where he laid down, wondering whether to push on, he snuck within 20 yards of us on the other side of two tree rows. Found him piled up wedged between two trees a couple hundred yards later. Grandpa was the one with the patience to figure out when the blood stopped he circled back instead of going ahead to bed down in a half mile slough of cat tails. I would have lost a fair bit of money on that one......Happy kid when he knew he didn;t have to bust cattails in the morning!! Smart alec still reminds me maybe I should ask grandpa about things!!! One of the best tracking deals I have been involved with, Dad/Grandpa, me and the kid................154 inch buck the kid was after all fall shot during rifle season with his bow after he rattled him in!
