Watch the replay of 15 MINUTE - RAPID FIRESIDE CHAT, where we cover: We go into blood trail and tracking heavily, not only in our new book coming out, but it is emphasized in our traditional bow hunting Boot Camp as well inside the modules. 1. Calm yourself after you’ve made the shot-  sit down take stock of the situation. Take some deep breaths and give the animal time. Let your adrenaline spike calm down before you go on the blood trail. 2. Find the arrow. It is your first and most important forensic evidence of what kind of hit you’ve got on the animal. You’re looking for hair color, blood type and odour 3. Determine the hit as you start the trail. Is it a terminal hit or superficial? Mark your trail as you go along And finally determine your blood and the pattern is it arterial? Venous or Capillary ? Is the animal path itself a terminal path that is is it on a terminal velocity? - ie The animal is travelling is it wandering is it staggering? Is it acting sick or is it running straight through cover? These will all determine the difference between the two and often the blood trail you’re going to get as well. Remember if you’re in doubt - give the animal time and back out.
