[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2403880, member: 30902"] Very few of my own fortunately, some hogs up to a half mile, one deer hit with a TSX through the lungs went over a mile. I had to track more than a hundred animals though when guiding for others and for my neighbors, a good many of which were similar lung shots with the TSX. After the few bad experiences I had of my own I started punching the shoulders and spine at their juncture. I had one shot on a buck at about 600yds that went just an inch low cutting the power so to speak but leaving him mobile on the back end that got into the CRP and scooted 120 yards or so. Proper placement and understanding what your bullet is designed for will eliminate most tracking jobs on all but the very hardiest and hardest to kill game. I've been fortunate learning good tracking skills as a kid and having had lots of opportunities. On the few occasions I lost a tract my German Shorthairs could always pick it back up and never lost an animal even if we didn't get called in for a track for 1-3 days after the shot. [/QUOTE]
