sleek:
How much meat will that ruin?

Mo_coon-catcher:
You’ll definitely lose a few pounds of meat. But in my mind, a few pounds of meat loss is better than the chance of losing the entire animal if the blood trail can Get washed away.

I guess I always go for the broiler room.

I shot a buck just like that last year with my Hawken. I broke both shoulders and he snow plowed over the hilltop. I had a time running him down, he was never far out of sight and I could jump him up. He would jump up and go 50 yards on his back legs. I shot him two more times before I finally put him down.

I agree Eric. They can go a long ways on three or even two legs. Seen them run with one leg shot off almost like they weren't even hurt. Hardly slowed them down.
