blood trail
Hunter's crimson breadcrumbs
A blood trail is a series of bloodstains left by a wounded person or animal as they move through an area.
Hunters follow blood trails to track injured game: We picked up the blood trail about fifty yards from where I shot the deer.
In crime investigation, blood trail analysis helps reconstruct movements of victims or perpetrators.
