You’ve been anticipating this moment your entire life. You’ve scouted this buck, placed your stands, planned your entry and exit routes. You’ve spent hour upon hour honing your skills. All your preparation comes together for this moment. The buck is calm, he has no idea you’re there, you are at full draw. He just needs to take a half of a step and he will be in the perfect spot. He takes it and just as he does you feel a whisper of breeze on the back of your neck. The buck raises his head and looks your way. It is now or never. Send It! Did you make a good shot? The buck did duck and turn. The hit was a little far back but it felt good. It should be ok. Not perfect but pretty good. What you as a hunter does next will greatly effect your degree of success. Do you get down and look for blood? Your arrow? Wait? Push? So many questions? Should I call a tracker and a blood trailing dog?  Shon Butler of Longspur Tracking and Outfitting joins Chris on this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast to discuss blood tracking. Shon talk about tips and tricks to increase your success. He outlines some major mistakes. He talks about how to be prepared before you ever take the shot. ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!
