[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1343752, member: 5412"] Here lately we have seen some posts they don't have any experience at trailing a wounded deer. This post would be for tips that you guys have came across to help a newer person to deer hunting find their game. In my experience, a gut shot deer will head for water or downhill. Both downhill. (Humans have the same reaction) A deer shot in the lungs will mostly head uphill. Not all deer leave a blood trail at the point of the shot. Some deer shot(bow or gun) high will leave no blood trail until they fall down, only to get up leaving a huge spray of blood on occasion. Deer shot at close range from a tall tree stand will leave a blood trail that a blind hunter could follow. This is just my experience. Y'all chip in and let the folks gain some info.:D FYI, over the years, seeing the deer fall, or knowing where it fell, I have always took the attitude that I know nothing.......and start trailing the deer by the blood signs. this way one learns how to follow the signs. Trust me, even if the deer is in sight, act like its not and blood trail it. You will learn to spot tiny specs, etc. [/QUOTE]
