[QUOTE="T. J. Mercer, post: 4966579, member: 2387"] TP as in toilet paper? So do you just lay a piece of TP on any blood you find as you go along? I'll have to try that. I always stick my arrows in the last few spots, so I can look back and see the fletching and visualize the direction the deer was running if the trail goes cold. Small pieces of TP would give me a longer line of dots to connect. Great tip. Thanks! I would add, Zim, to try and never go past your last spot of blood until you see the next drop. Sometimes you get lucky with a clean blow-through and blood letting out both sides, resulting in puddles and a tracking of only 50 yards. But sometimes you clip some liver or a hole gets plugged, and it's extremely slow-going. You don't want to step on the only leaf with a drop of blood and have it stick to your boots only to never be seen. Tracking is hands down my favorite part of bow hunting. Do I want to spend three hours tracking a deer across 300 yards? No, but oh the reward of finding your quarry. [/QUOTE]
