Sometimes they just don't leave a blood trail. This doe was shot at a distance of about 80 yards. Despite the huge exit wound, no blood was found between the place where she was shot and where she expired, about 100 yards away. There was a huge pool of blood where she fell. The bullet was the 250 grain SST.
