[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2737953, member: 122164"] LRAB put deer on the ground fast, and we hunt in a jungle so a deer that runs 100-200 yards may never be found. Tracking without blood is a fantasy as deer tracks abound. I also have no interest in avoiding bloodshot meat as bloodshot meat also indicates a good blood trail or a good indication that deer will be laying in their tracks. So, for our application, we like shot deer that leave blood trails that blind men can follow if they run. Late afternoon shots, in fading light, means you need a deer dead in its tracks. Often, with recoil, you have no idea which way a deer runs when it is hit, and they often walk in circles from blood loss when they slow down. So, shoulder shots are our preference, and they are the best insurance against running deer. Out West in wide open spaces, if a deer runs 300 yards, it may be no big deal. Here in the South, a deer that runs 300 yards means you need to go and get your buddy's dog to find the deer. 400 yards and under, the 160g Sierra BTSP with a muzzle velocity between 2900-3100 has proven to put deer on the ground where they are standing, 280 Rem, 280 AI, and 7 Mags.
