How about just seeing blood period, from a hole that is just barley big enough to provide this for you? Speaking for myself, I'll take all the blood flow I can get when looking for something this big with the potential to change your view forever on recreational sport hunting.


You're still making false arguments.

17% more blood? As a constant? No way.

I've never shot a brown bear, I'll give you that. But I've killed enough elk to know that sometimes you get blood, sometimes you don't.

I killed a cow a couple years back that ran a good 50 years without spilling a drop of blood. I know because I tracked her through the snow. Rifle was a 300 WBY, bullet was one of your beloved Barnes. Bullet hit the top of the heart and exited accordingly.

A few years before that, I knocked one over just across the drainage. Used a 7STW and got both lungs. That one left a blood trail.

But by your math, elk #1 should have bled more.


Tenacious, ain't ya?
