color blind?

I'm color blind and was just curious what other people do when tracking a deer I know I can't be the only one. Anyone have any tricks they use I can see the blood it just is a lot harder for me to see than for other people

my buddy is color blind and just calls me to help track, you could look at the tinks bloodhound chemical it makes blood glow in the dark.

I am color blind also. When I ever needed to track a deer I tried to follow its tracks if I knew if it was hit. If I needed to look for blood I was was up a creek. Then I would have to get help. The only advice I can give is to practice shooting a lot and don't take risky shots. That has helped me more than anything. Don't have to track when you see them go down. I know that is easier said than done but it will help.

Hunt with someone who isnt color blind.

I'm colorblind and I've only found two things that work for me-- 1) make a dang good shot and watch it fall, or 2) get someone who's not colorblind. Not all non-colorblind trackers are created equal- I've got a couple buddies are good. My dad was the best I've ever seen, but his tracking days are behind him now, I'm afraid.

even if yer the best shot on earth you may not see them all fall so have a buddy help. :>)

One trick we tried,( and it does work to a point) is to carry a spray bottle of hyd. peroxide. It has to be fairly fresh, but if it is blood it will bubble.

Just saw this post. I am color bind and have the hardest time following a blood trail. It is mandatory that you have peolpe with that are not otherwise drop them.

Im not color blind but have been using a string tracker on my bows for years. Cuts tracking time to down to seconds on deer that don't travell over fifty yards. The main reason I started with the string traker is I hunt areas near sloughs and plowed fields. When there is little or no blood trail the string shows where the deer has gone. I have not had a deer break the string or the barb come out of the hide.

It takes some practice to get used to a string tracker but they do work and will help make for quick tracking of any deer that has been hit even if the shot is a little far back.
