[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1401944, member: 1656"] I was trying to be delicate, but I guess I'll be a little more direct as the point was missed. The fact is, short of artillery, there isn't a round made which guarantees DRT. If you can't find a deer dropped within a 100 foot diameter circle, I don't care the terrain, I question your ability. That's a really small area you should be able to search every inch of on your hands and knees in a short time frame. And since no round guarantees DRT, if you can't search a 100 foot diameter circle, you shouldn't be hunting there at all. I have hunted places like that, I have shot deer which didn't leave a blood trail, I got on my hands and knees and found them within such a distance as they were well shot. My example was shared to point out a case where even in a situation where every major organ system was obliterated, because the skeletal and/or CNS was not disrupted -- which can NEVER be guaranteed -- it took a deer only seconds to cover a distance far greater that what you characterize as unsearchable.
