[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 74812, member: 2852"] I've been killing animals around and past the 1/2 mile mark for many seasons and I can honestly tell you that <font color="red"> I DON'T CARE IF THE BULLET STAYS IN OR EXITS AS LONG AS THAT SHOULDER BLADE IS BROKEN! </font> That being said, with most shoulder fired guns and hunting bullets, you will usually find the bullet breaking both shoulder blades and getting stuck under the skin on the far side, or just breaking one blade and being in the meat tissue on the far side. EIther way, the animal is dead and <font color="blue"> THERE WILL BE NO TRACKING REQUIRED!! </font> We often times get too caught up in this debate of <font color="green"> geography (in or out)</font> of the bullet when we should really be looking at the <font color="red">biology </font> of the animal. If you break the shoulder or the spine/shoulder junction, the animal will ALWAYS go down like a ton of bricks and stay that way! All quadrapeds on earth must use their front shoulders as their principle means of shifting their weight. If that joint does not work, there is no locomotion, period. It is like a car. You can disconnect the radiator hose, the brake lines, and the gas line but the car can still go a distance before seizing up. But if you break the front axle or the driveline, it isn't going one inch! Bottom line: pick the right bullet for the distance and put it where it counts most! Shooting an animal with pre-detemined plans of having a blood trail to track sounds like bow-hunting, not rifle hunting. [/QUOTE]
