a dispenser carried by the arrow, wherein the dispenser is activated to a dispensing position when the arrow strikes and wounds
the animal; and
a tracer agent loaded into the dispenser and released when the dispenser is activated to the dispensing position, wherein
the released tracer agent interacts with the animal's blood to produce enhanced-visual properties, wherein the released tracer
agent and the animal's blood disperse to identify an enhanced-visibility trail to aid in tracking the animal.
