Look by water sources. -Injured deer TEND to avoid going uphill. -If you lose blood, be VERY careful where you step. You don't want to overturn the ground where blood can be laying. There's a ton more, but I have to get back to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Use two to track. Every time you find a drop of blood have your buddy walk up to the next track. By standing on blood and looking to where the other guy is you can typically find a path the deer is traveling. Kind of like useing the sights on a Rifle pointing the way.

Tominator Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Look for scuffed up leaves where a deer may be struggling while bleeding internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger-Hunter Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Deer will often back-track, so just because you lose blood doesn't always mean they are laying in front of you. Deer will often jump their own trail (usually to the side they were hit) and then lay in wait for you to pass by. Don't forget deer will use the path of least resistance. Wait 15-30 minutes before tracking a deer. Deer wreak something awful when you find them the next day (I've vomited when field dressing a deer the next day), so don't give up just because its dark - I'll never make that mistake again.

kingfisherfd2 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 bring a roll of toilet paper and us a square to mark where you find blood. those white squares show up nice in the flash light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
