What is the best method to follow when tracking wounded game?

  1. Wait briefly, then track fast and quietly

  2. Immediately follow the blood trail loudly to keep the animal moving

  3. Wait 30 minutes to an hour before following, look for signs

  4. Run after the animal to catch it while it is wounded

The correct answer is: Wait 30 minutes to an hour before following, look for signs

Following the blood trail immediately and loudly can cause the animal to move farther away and may make it difficult to track. Running after a wounded animal can also result in it getting scared and running even further. Waiting for 30 minutes to an hour allows the animal to calm down and eventually slow down, making it easier to track. Looking for signs such as broken twigs or disturbed foliage can also be helpful in locating the wounded game. It's important to move quietly and methodically, not only to avoid spooking the animal but also to make sure you don't miss any important clues along the way.
