What should be used to track a wounded animal?

Blood signs
Footprints
Noise
Smell

The correct answer is: Blood signs

Finding and tracking a wounded animal can be a challenging task. While all of the given options may be used to track, blood signs are the best option to use in order to successfully track a wounded animal. Blood signs are reliable indicators of an animal's presence and can lead the tracker directly to the injured animal. Footprints and noise can potentially give clues, but they can also be easily confused or lost in the environment. Smell may also be a possible indicator, but it requires the tracker to have the ability to detect and differentiate animal scents. Overall, blood signs are the most useful and efficient option for tracking a wounded animal.
