Pointers For Hunting Gears

By Terry Herrera


Remember to always mark your shot. Watch for response from the mammal after you fire for sign of a hit. Watch the deer until it is out of sight and listen for further actions. Identify any landmarks to help you in marking the path and trail of the wounded animal.

Waiting an hour ahead of trailing will allow animal to lie down without being disturbed. Immediate tracking will ensure the animal's wounds do not have time to clot allowing for a more steady blood trail. Various theories exist on waiting for extensive periods of time or begin trailing right away.

Make use of biodegradable paper to score the blood trail. The start of the trail should be obvious and each area of blood found. Keep in mind, blood can be found on the ground and on nearby grass, bushes and trees up to 3 feet off the ground.

Tracks and step segment in addition to blood trail can aid in discovering your downed game. Use a stick to determine the animals stride length or a piece of biodegradable paper to compute the track. These clues can help you discover your deer in addition to the blood trail.

If you know how to listen to the trail the blood - will tell a story. The color, type and amount of blood can help tell you be skilled and determine a hit you made on the animal. From time to time the blood trail is nowhere to be found due to the animal doubling back. Walk concentric circles around your end marker until the trail can be seen or the animal is found.

Many times extremely injured deer will not follow a common track but will crash aimlessly through their surroundings. Often they will run down hill or towards water rather than keep to familiar trails.

Up to date archers have tracking arrow plans that attach a string to the loosed arrow. Earlier versions of these devices were less dependable, but with advances in design these devices can help you hunt wet settings and find downed game. One other thing archers can do to help ensure tracking achievement in finding their game is to shoot brightly colored arrows given better visibility of your hit. In latest times arrow knocks have been made to blink after being released from the bow aiding in the start of the blood trail.
