Saw @Allegheny Tom post about Luminol, and I recommend you all do the same. I also thought it warranted a companion post:

I’m baffled that blood tracking with certified tracking dogs and trackers is illegal in some states. Like, dumbfounded. It takes only one brain cell to know that any advantage in tracking a wounded/dead animal quickly and efficiently is an advantage worth legalizing.
Check the website above for information about the tracking teams in your area. If you live somewhere that tracking with certified dogs is illegal, write/petition your DNR and hunting populace to legalize it. I’m not “into politics” but no legal hunter, or sane person, wants wounded animals just left out in the woods or running across the highway or landing in someone’s swimming pool. There is no better way to track a wounded animal than a certified tracking-dog team.
Wounding an animal is not the time to get brave about your chances or embarrassed to admit that **** happens sometimes; it’s the time to do everything you can (and btw the teams often use Luminol in conjunction with dogs) to get that animal recovered and meat in your freezer, or at least put your worries to rest at the official call from your tracker that the animal is either recoverable or not.
If you’re not sure about legality in your state, call a tracker near you and chat. If you’re against legality, I’m quite sorry to hear that and I hope you have a change of heart. I also recommend the latter group call a tracker and chat, because they will likely open your eyes to the absolute insanity of illegality.
Good luck y’all, and have fun out there!
Thanks again to @Allegheny Tom for his Luminol post!
