National Bowhunter Education Foundation Partners with Track’n Trail Blood-trailing Tool
Posted on: Nov 11, 2025
RAPID CITY, SD (November 12, 2025) –National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) has partnered with Track’n Trail, a new mobile app that allows users to use smartphones as blood-trailing devices. NBEF will receive a donation from Track’n Trail for each paid subscriber using NBEF’s affiliate code: NBEF25.
Ethical game recovery is a crucial part of NBEF’s bowhunter ed and cross bow hunter education classes. The Track’n Trail app may lead to quicker game recovery by using patent-pending machine vision technology to detect blood and generate vibrational and visual alerts when blood is located. This technology may be especially helpful for people who are visually impaired or have color vision deficiencies. Hunters can find download links at NBEF.com or at the Apple App Store and Google Play.
“NBEF encourages ethical game recovery,” said NBEF Executive Director Marilyn Bentz. “Recent field reports support that this app can aid with recovery. If hunters subscribe using the NBEF25 code, they can feel good knowing NBEF will receive a donation from Track’n Trail.”
“We’re pleased to partner with NBEF,” said Track’n Trail Founder Mark Hose. “Both organizations provide tools that help hunters be better in the field.”
NBEF helps bowhunters be safe, successful and stewards of the sport. NBEF offers bowhunting instructional items, books, videos, 3-D models, apparel and more at nbef.org.
