Clue 6

At 300 yards things are starting to change. You find 8 beds (like the ones shown above) within 50 yards. But the deer is still not found. Let's take a look at the blood sign over the past 300 yards.

• The Blood is shown as drops, not spray.
• The blood is very consistent, every foot there is a drop on average. No pulse-pressured blood.
• There is no sign of stomach matter in 300 yards of blood.

The shot clearly looked like a gut hit, the deer reacted like a gut hit deer, and the beds above are consistent with a gut-hit deer.

So with these clues, try to guess our next question. This is tough, but so is bloodtrailing.
