Event: Wounded Deer Tracking Workshop

Dec13Sat

Wounded Deer Tracking Workshop

Catlett, VA

You shot at a deer! If all went as planned, you will watch your deer topple over after a short distance. But what happens when your hit is not immediately fatal? What you do next will have a huge impact on whether or not you recover your deer. After a heart shot, tracking a deer is typically simple. After a less-conclusive shot, you’ll need the skills of “blood-trailing” and tracking a wounded deer to greatly increase your odds of recovering your deer. This 3-hour hands-on workshop will teach you the skills you need to successfully “blood-trail” and track a wounded deer. During this workshop, we will be in the woods following simulated “blood-trails.” Some parts of the woods might have thick vegetation to go through, so please dress appropriately. Suggested items to bring: a compass; snack; water; sunscreen; and insect spray.
