Promised my 17 year old daughter we'd go out this weekend......I've been swamped at work and forgot to order Barnes expanders like you guys recommended.....I've lost as many deer with No blood trail powerboats as much as I've recovered them....either it's a bang flop or they run with no blood...and yes...I'm hitting them. Last year, had a doe get up....walk a number of yards down hill.....watched her fall over.....again.......as It was an hour till dark I stayed in the stand...climbed down after dark. Gone....went to where I shot her....small blood trail to where she fell over the second time and nothing.......after that....I had heard a deer that was sneaking around the area she was originally traveling, but I had heard a buck grunting and was looking for him....
Long story short, after what you guys have said....and what I have seen...these things fragment completely inside with no exit and very little blood trail
I was going to buy something else like hornady or TC and sight them in today, but got stuck out on a trip. So since Baby girl isn't feeling so good today, we were going to go to range at sunrise, sight new bullets in and go for a midday to evening sit.
If you had to get something better than powerbelts, which would you get that you could buy at academy, bass pro or dicks?
Walmart even.
