Why BloodHound?

Tracking a wounded deer is one of the most critical skills in ethical hunting. BloodHound is a blood tracking app that enhances your natural ability, using advanced color science to isolate blood drops that are invisible to the naked eye—especially in challenging terrain like autumn leaves, pine needles, and tall grass. It's the blood trail app that keeps the recovery going when the sign runs thin.

Our Mission

I built BloodHound after losing a deer in heavy leaf litter at dusk. The guilt of potentially wasting an animal drove me to create a tool that every hunter can access—without the expensive subscriptions that other apps charge.

BloodHound's core blood detection is free forever. Trail Mode is a one-time upgrade for serious recoveries — no subscription, yours to keep.

Blood Tracking App FAQ

Can a blood tracking app really detect blood you can't see?

Yes. BloodHound uses L*a*b* color science to separate the red of blood from brown earth and green foliage, revealing drops your eyes skate past in leaf litter and low light.

Is BloodHound free?

The core blood detection is free forever, with no ads and no subscription. Trail Mode — the GPS blood trail map — is an optional one-time unlock you keep for good.

Does the blood trail app work at night and in heavy cover?

Yes. Night Mode uses your flashlight to find blood in the dark, and adjustable sensitivity tunes detection for dry blood, snow, and heavy foliage.

What game can I track with BloodHound?

Any big game that leaves a blood trail — deer, elk, bear, hog, and turkey. If it bleeds, BloodHound helps you recover it.
