Congrats on the recovery.

I have used the tp many times before & the nice thing is it is enviro friendly that you can leave it behind & in a couple of days no one even knows it was there

Unfortunately, I forgot to restock my backpack before I went out this year & did not have any to use tonight when tracking my deer but we did find it easy enough.

Congratulations of finding the deer at the end of the trail---many trails are difficult to track--It is the trackers diligence that determines the success--Good work!

For anyone that would like a good read about serious tracking, might i recommend a series of books by Tom Brown---he was trained from about the age of 7 till end of High School by a an old Apache Indian--The life of the old Indian is chronicaled in his book entitled "grandfather"--he has a series of books dealing with survival and tracking and operates a training facility somewhere in Fla. (Sax) he trained special forces going to Viet Nam and and is considered to be one of the best in our neck of the woods

Here are some helpful resources for learning more about tracking and
finding wounded deer.

http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/default.aspx

The huntingnet. reference is a must read for all hunters. It's been
repeated for many years with new insights shared each year.

Also these two books are helpful:

Finding Wounded Deer by John Trout jr. paperback edition was published in 2004 by Creative Outdoors.

Tracking Wounded Deer by Richard P. Smith published by Smith Publications
in 1996.

Finally, in the early autumn before the snow flies the red leaves can sometimes make it difficult to identify scant blood trails. A spray bottle
filled with hydrogen peroxide will help detect the blood. real blood will
fizz when sprayed with the peroxide.

Finally, it would be nice, as a learning experience, to know what colour
the blood was, and where exactly the hit was made? O yes and what
kind of broadhead was used to take this deer?

Also its biodegradable so you dont have to pick it all up...

LOL my dad showed that 1 years ago...Keep paper towels in my pack rip them up into strips plus they are good hiney wipers...
