[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 737740, member: 10832"] If I had to choose it would be your 2nd option, no offside hole but complete internal damage. In my experience it is the best and quickest killer. It gives the greatest chance for a DRT kill. It is most forgiving of POI error I have seen deer and especially elk suck up well placed shots with controlled expansion bullets and still run a few hundred yards before expiring. I don't like tracking. It introduces the biggest factor in loosing an animal . . . . loosing the blood trail, due to darkness, inclement weather, poor tracking skills, and hard to follow terrain. Plus when you hunt in predator country you may not have much left the following morning if you have to wait overnight. You can have close to the best of both worlds if you use grenade style bullets in heavy for caliber, high SD bullets. Many times you will get both major internal damage and a complete pass-through.
