[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5751966, member: 20583"] I'd go look first thing. If you don't find good blood and a dead deer pretty quick then wait for dog. If you do trail blood, try paralleling it rather than tramping over it. The dog follows interdigital gland scent from the hooves and if you step on the deer's track you'll muck up the track and get the scent on your boots, which could lead the dog astray. Seeing the arrow I myself would go first light and start out ahead of where the deer ran when you last saw him, and scan around for a dead deer. I've found a lot of deer like that without tracking at all. I usually only have to track when I can't immediately find the deer. Lots of people get so entranced with finding droplets of blood that they don't see the 200lb dead critter lying right there in the wide open. I'm guessing you're going to find that deer pretty quick. But if not the dog will. [/QUOTE]
