[QUOTE="SpeedymanWCC, post: 2420759, member: 121149"] I know this a LR hunting forum and I'm here to learn as much as I can to eventually make it out west and up north for some dream hunts. Like it was stated earlier, if you're out west or primarily a bean field hunter ba blood trail isn't necessary. The whitetail deer in Ohio and Indiana don't get big hanging out in the middle of 1,000 acre fields. You can catch them moving from feeding areas to bedding areas on field edges and fence rows. The **** honeysuckle is so thick here that as soon as they're hit they dip. Without a blood trail your screwed. Without a pass through you also take a chance of the single hole filling with fat, hair, debris. They always seem to find water that washes the blood off. I prefer fast moving solids that pad through and open. One of the deer I shot with the soft points man bun was a perfect lung shot. I waited like I always do for 30 minutes, went to track it and ended up finding a little blood but ended up pushing it into some super thick crappy undergrowth that took me 1.5 hours to find it without and blood trail to follow. The CM hasn't gone out since. I'll try some different bullets before I give up on the 6.5MB..lol Any bullet suggestions with the 6.5CM? Prefer solid copper or something other than lead that will pass through and open? [/QUOTE]
