Blood trail help

Post by MULEY7MM » Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:17 pm

My son made a 100 yard shot tonight with a muzzleloader after the shot the deer hunched up and stood there and swayed for 30 seconds or so and then ran off.. We tracked the blood trail for 200 yards and then lost the trail.. The original spot where he was shot was a fist size puddle of bright red blood and it was thick gooey.. Any suggestions or thoughts of maybe where it was hit?
Glad to be back...

It was a low shot barely got the heart. We let him sit over night and found him this morning... Another hunter up there said a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide is the best way to find a small blood trail cause it fizzes up..
Glad to be back...

Pictures man. :thumb
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.
