I have bowhunted for 35 years. I have a little experience with trails.
I have seen it all, good, bad, and incredible blood trails.
I am also fortunate to hunt open country and the Black Hills. I can honestly say that with my firearms experience, bloodtrails are not needed to find critters and usually an anecdotal observation.
I have never experienced the nasty thickets of the south, but have experienced S Texas brush country and bloodtrailed archery killed hogs and javelina through that terrain.
