Last year I tracked a hurt deer in the fresh snow. It became a long, quiet hike that's hard to forget. The blood trail started easy but soon faded. It took patience and slow steps, but I found the deer under a cedar tree...it wasn't the tracking job I wanted, but the snow helped a lot
 
Next time, you should keep an eye out for tracks and broken branches before the trail. Animals usually head downhill to find thick cover
