183 HAL BLOOD - Big Woods Bucks, Tracking Monster Maine Whitetail

The elements often dictate the best style of hunting for a particular region of the country.  In Maine, tracking is considered by many buck hunters to be one of the most effective methods. When the snow flys, trackers like Hal Blood look for those buck killin' days.  What's interesting is that the tracker rarely concerns themselves with the wind and scent control, rather, they rely on the track of a toe dragger to point them in the right direction.  It's a game of covering lots of ground, getting on a good track, and reading the signs left behind by that very buck you are pursuing, waiting for a glimpse.  Hal Blood is one of the best and in this episode he tells us what he looks for, when to slow down, and when to speed up while on the trail of a monster Maine whitetail.  OUR SPONSORS: ScentLok Enforcer www.ScentLokEnforcer.com Advanced Takedown Treestands www.AdvancedTreestands.com Morse's Sporting Goods www.MorseSportingGoods.com DEER NEWS: Update on 312+ Inch Non-Typical Whitetail Record Buck Man Fined $10,000 for Shooting Deer in Driveway Florida Senator Seeks Federal Funding as Screw Worm Hits Mainland HERE'S WHAT WE DISCUSS: Good, and You?
