[QUOTE="102, post: 5209036, member: 1462"] The BEST, quickest, cleanest, shortest blood trail, (almost always see or hear them fall) is without a doubt...the KIDNEY shot. SECONDS, like under 15, and they are dead! But it is very impractical for any weapon. It is simply too small a target. I like the heart shot but I rarely have seen a deer do anything but run wildly away, and sometimes over two hundred yards, on heart shots. And a few ran straight up hill. And I mean a steep hill. So...the best shot scenario is a mid double lung on a very relaxed (floppy eared) deer (alone), with no bleating ("meh") to stop (alert) it, involved, and some type of background noise, (wind, train, traffic, etc.). The bigger deer, the better! (I've noticed that the larger bodied deer I've killed tend to travel MUCH shorter distances on lethal hits than their smaller bodied counterparts). Coupled with a shave sharp Broadhead and pass through, and you've got a recipe for a hop, skip, and a jump away deer that probably has no idea what just "bit" it, and often falls over right in front of you! And while mechanicals work fine, one other downfall to them is several of the more popular heads make a loud noise as the blues open and smack back on the arrow inserts. This often startles deer unnecessarily causing longer blood trails from spooked deer. Deer traveling with other deer often go further to keep up with spooked companions. And sometimes arrows stay in deer as they run off slapping trees and brush causing strange noises that causes accompanying deer to run further and faster and taking the wounded animal along. A running deer can cover LOTS of ground in seconds! [/QUOTE]
