[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2934311, member: 124909"] I also use the 168 Amax and the 123 and 147 eldm for shoulder shots doing depredation but this is generally with 110-115 pound does. For years all I used for larger bucks was 270 with 130 grain Corlokt. I now prefer the accubond for hunting heavier deer. I've. tracked Deer shot with about any caliber or weapon imaginable. Even with big calibers behind the shoulder there is a chance they will run. A lot can happen and go wrong even when a shot is right. Fat or tissue can plug the wound giving you no trail. They can swim creeks or rivers or die in the water. Briars, gators, marsh, cross onto posted properties, etc. if I have a shot that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is going to anchor the animal I'm not leaving anything to chance. The high shoulder shot does that reliably. [/QUOTE]
