I hear you, Top!
I was hunting an area w/2 other friends a number of years ago. One of them shot a doe and was having trouble tracking it. From the direction of the shot, I figured one our party had done the shooting. I shortly saw him and went over getting the story. Long story short, the 3 of us tracked the deer to an opening. The distance from the shot was roughly 150 yds. The doe had left very little blood trail but in that distance we found about 6 different piles in various sizes, some so big you'd wonder how she ever made it that far or how any lung could be left in her. Altogether, it took only 15 minutes to find where she fell. We didn't recover her. Somebody saw her fall and took her before we got there. Just one reason I don't like buckshot. But that's another story.
