[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2747487, member: 75451"] Terri Anne, I guess that we’ll continue to see things differently. We’ve only had two animals processed…..both were a resounding disappointment! I’ve a few days of hunting under my belt, 65 years counting the first few years with adults. My wife has been hunting since around 1970. We’re fairly versed on game processing….and removal of blood shot whether by salt water soaking, or actual tissue disposal if needed! I’ve hunted exclusively since 1982 with a med-bore rifle and my wife since 1996. Prior to that she hunted exclusively with relatively small bore cartridges (.243 Win, .264 WM, and 270 Win.) and we both have hunted with other folks using similar …… our observations have been that generally speaking high velocity bullets cause more blood shot. On close range shots, something we seldom enjoy anymore, our fairly high velocity medium bores create a lot of bloodshot tissue same as high velocity small bores. At longer distance, with appreciable velocity loss…..blood shot is substantially less! Obviously…..”your mileage may vary”! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
