RE: Great blood trail?
I watched Shockley hunting Mountain Goat somewhere.. Alaska I think. And he shot a nice Billy. When the guide asked him the kind of bullet he was shooting he said.. Nosler Partition. It was out of his Encore/Pro Hunter.
Also here again, I hate to guess location of a hit by the way the animal reacted. I have shot deer right through the boiler room that never even flinched, took a couple steps and fell over. Others I have shot and they almost did a back flip. Too many variables. I do put some credence in the kind of blood and material I find at the scene. Hair color, bubbles in blood, chunks in blood, color of blood, but I stopped guessing deer a long time ago on how they reacted from the shot in regards to shot placement.
