What is the main reason for marking a blood trail?

To estimate the size of the animal
To ensure you are following the right animal
To make it easier to follow if you lose daylight
To show other hunters you have taken game

The correct answer is: To make it easier to follow if you lose daylight

Marking a blood trail is important because it helps you continue tracking an injured animal if you lose daylight. While estimating the size of the animal or showing other hunters that you have taken game are both valid reasons for marking a blood trail, they are not the main reason. Additionally, marking the trail does not ensure that you are following the right animal, but rather helps you stay on the right track. This is why option C is the correct answer.
