The correct answer is: The hunter who draws blood from an animal has the right to track and claim it

The rule of first blood refers to the tradition that the hunter who draws first blood from an animal has the right to track and claim it. Option A is incorrect because it only refers to spotting the game, not actually hitting it. Option C is also incorrect as it does not involve tracking or claiming the animal. Option D is incorrect as the rule does have a legal standing in some hunting communities.
