Ideas On How To Hunt And Track Whitetail Successfully

By Kim Doris Carpenter


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

Various theories exist on waiting for extensive periods of time or begin trailing right away. Waiting an hour previous to 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.

Make use of biodegradable paper to score the blood trail. The start of the trail should be distinct 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 tramp measurement lengthwise 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 gauge the track. These clues can help you locate your deer in addition to the blood trail.

If you know how to listen to the blood trail, it will give you some tips. The type, color and amount of blood can help tell you how pleasant of 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 re-established or the animal is found.

Many times severely 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 go along familiar trails.

Advanced archers have an arrow tracking 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 necks have been made to blink after being released from the bow aiding in finding the start of the blood trail.
