When the shot doesn’t go exactly as planned, knowing what to do next can make the difference between recovering a deer and losing it.

On this episode of Maine Knows Howe, we take a close look at blood tracking wounded deer—how to read the sign, when to begin tracking, when to back out, and how experienced trackers use trained dogs to recover deer that might otherwise never be found.

We talk about shot placement, blood and other sign, common tracking mistakes, how weather and terrain affect a trail, and why patience after the shot can be one of a hunter’s most important tools.

Whether you’re a new deer hunter or have spent decades in the Maine woods, this episode offers practical information that can help you make better decisions when the tracking gets difficult.
