I have found deer fur at the site where a slug, or ball passed through a deer, that then wandered off to die someplace else, but I have never found other fur "drops" along the path.
... I am glad that anything I have written here was a help. :thumbsup: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

This is the cousin who has probably twice as many deer as he has tagged. When he wouunded this doe I was doing most of the tracking since I was small enough to crawl around in all this brush. I kept finding lots of pieces of bone and small drops of blood. The button buck I shot with my muzzleloader this year didn't bleed until about 10 yards down the trail I could see the deer had taken. First I just found hair but the further I went down the trail I found small drops of blood then there were more and the drops kept getting bigger. I don't know if this is a roundball thing or not but I thought this was different than the deer I have tracked with a bow or shotgun slug.
