If one insists on a blood trail, maybe get within 30 yards and put a broad head through both lungs. Pretty much solves that....
well said...and even THAT doesn't guarantee a generous blood trail. I've noticed, like you probably have as well, that the negatives views about the BTs here all involved dead deer or a very small sampling. If you hunt long enough and shoot enough animals, you'll find that there is nothing carved in stone and that no two situations are alike.
