Default RE: Blood Trails

A largepart of our hunting ispine plantation that was clear cut five or six years ago. The young trees are thick as hair on a coyote and mixed with briar. We have a bunch of small food plots in the middle of this stuff. If a deer gets even forty or fifty yards into that jungle you're in for a miserable retrieval job. Finding it is tough -trying to drag it out is even tougher. I must confess to using neck shots when I hunt this area - but I'm very choosy about the shot and will pass on any nervous deer or anything over 50 yards or so. In those areas where tracking conditions are more reasonable it's heart/lung for sure.
