[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2258434, member: 11101"] I agree with you but I also like to have 2 holes in the animal. Depending on bullet entry, there may not be a blood trail with 1 hole. The deer was downhill, so no blood out of the high entry hole. An exit would have made a red trail. Snow on the ground though, and no leaves on the trees so it was easy to watch until it dropped. No blood until the last 10 yds. With my .243, I shoot the 85g Bergers. 3250 fps MV. @ 20 yds I shot a buck with it's head down facing me. I was about 8 feet higher than the buck. Bullet entered the base of the neck, and I thought I will finally get to see what a bullet looks like. Nope, bullet exited the scrotum. Inside was a mess and it just dropped when hit. That's why I love to use monolithic constructed bullets if I don't know how close the animal will be. If I'm hunting wide open areas, that isn't a concern. [/QUOTE]
