[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 2355538, member: 75397"] First off, IM NOT SPEAKING POORLY OF THESE BULLETS! They did what they’re intended to do. I hunted with the the first gen badlands for two seasons, first year was great, had a kill at 648 yards and the doe dropped with a boiler room shot, second year I payed more attention to details of the kills and I wasn’t as shocked and awed by the damage done for tracking or external blood loss. They have a second generation out that is like to try that I think is supposed to have softer copper but in my mind are monos worth the extra cost. When I shot two does at under 150 yards through the shoulders there was not much blood loss on the outside, they did awesome on the inside but from the results I seen blood trails would be minimum. Not sure if all monos are like that but at a cost stand point and for white tails idk if it’s worth the extra expense for me. Other hunters have more reasons to shoot monos, like laws and the availability/cost of getting game meat. I don’t have those limitations. One guy had said the same thing on another thread that we had been thinking/doing for quite awhile is shoot the animals in the shoulders for an instant drop and throw the shoulders away after deboning the meat off all you can and go shoot another deer or head/neck shots for less loss in meat. So in essence, what’s the point of high dollar bullets other than the cool/consistency factor and probably they’re main reason meant to save meat when you still throw the shoulders away when shot there. I still love the idea of monos, just not sure if they’re for me. [/QUOTE]
