Camp neighbor has a Bavarian Mountain Hound. Tremendous tracker. He’s a scent hound, tracking the interdigital gland of a wounded deer. Blood doesn’t matter.

Yea, that’s really how it works. None of the dogs are really tracking blood per se. The dogs are using the interdigital scent combined with the many other scents a deer put off, blood, guts, hair, etc.

Interdigital scent is given off in panic/fear as well. Sometimes in a miss situation my dog will trail the deer for about 30-50 yards and call it off herself. Because then she understands the deer is not dead.
