What kind of blood is this?

Couldn’t find him. We got some rain overnight so no blood to track this morning and the grid search turned up nothing. Hard to believe...

Argh. I get it. EVERY hunter does. I looked 9 hours for a deer that I KNEW was dead. And never found him. Just move forward. Hang in there.

The best buck I have shot at to date hit his esophagus. He coughed up aerated blood and a lot of it. None of it was ten yards from where he was when I shot. Found piles of aerated blood like that. I have no doubt the deer died but not that day.
 
In Virginia there is a free service dog tracking service on Facebook, may look into something similar in your area.
