Matty,
The book is Finding Wounded Deer: by John Trout Jr. It's excellent as is Finding Wounded Deer: by Richard P. Smith. About dogs. My brother arrowed a doe a few years back on a Saturday, so we went back the next day. The darn dog took off and 150yds later we caught up with him biting the heck out of the carcas.
Here's a story regarding peroxide. Many years ago (20 or so) I was going to go hunting, and the night before, as I was shaving, I cut myself. I didn't have a styptic pencil, so I used peroxide to clean up. Now in my hunting career, I had lost 2 Deer up until that point. (only 1 since) One deer went into a swamp, and the other up in Flatbrook Roy a bear got. Anyway, a light bulb went off inside my head, about using peroxide to BLOODTRAIL a deer. We all know that in the fall, leaves have small red flecks on them that look like blood. Well I started using it, and it has served me well ever since (as has toilet tissue). A few years later, I'm, at the Whitetail Jamboree, and I see a couple of"young guys" at this booth, and they're asking this guy about this new "trailing spray". He's selling it for at that time $6.99 for a 7oz bottle. Looking to help, I grab the one kid and tell him that the spray is only hydrogen peroxide with food coloring added to it. Needless to say, I convinced the kid to go to the store and buy a bottle of peroxide for .99 cents.
Then I thought about it. I should have thought about asdding food coloring to the peroxide, then marketing it.
