How do know where to spray it (wondering if this could be the answer to tracking while color blind)?

At first hit of the animal hopefully you have a trail to begin with. As the the BT gets smaller I mark the spot(I use small clips ans reflective tabs attached) and I look for the possible direction it went,and spray left to right in a three to four foot fan like area. then look and take 2-3 steps and do it again. all the time looking for the white foam.Every time you loose the track I hang a marker and widen the area till I pick it up again.

difference in the world, but the Marines don’t have that problem.

Mark Baker hit it on the head...take a set of young eyes along. I just assummed it was because the kid's vision was closer to the ground. Wrong. Their eyes are better and when you get to the end of the bloodtrail, there's someone there to enthusistically help you. Plus the youngster gains experience. Everybody wins!

Guys try a little Goji berry juice, organic, one once in the AM, you'll be surprised. Also STOP EATING SUGAR!, white flour, garbage food, and keep your eye site a little longer.

They ain't got nothing to fix old age as yet, I'm in the same boat, but it took until almost sixty to get me. Can't imagine how much longer I could have kept my great eye site if I didn't eat sugar and all that other junk, it might be getting a little better though, I'll know more when I get to the eye doc.
