Default RE: Who cares that much about meat damage?

i dont care about it at all...i use the most destructive bullets made for hunting as some people tell me..its either a good hollow point or a balistic tip flying out of my 3006...shots usually under 50yds..most under 30...i havent seen anything to devistanting in my 3 deer with them..and my dads 3 deer with them that i was with him when he killed them...sure the in hole is the size of a quarter and the exit is about 3 inches and it damages the meat with shock all around hte holes..ive seen them skinned the hole isnt bad when you look at the bruised meat that is ruined...but i rather drop my deer within 30yds if not in their tracks then have the bullet not blow the insides to mush and do its job and take the animals life fast than have it not open and not ruin much meat..sure hte animal wil die but even double lunged with just a whole throught them can go a decint ways...ive never seen a whole lung in a deer of hte 7 ive gutted or seen gutted...and none went over 30yds...thats the way i like it..that few lbs of meat isnt much...
