Obviously you've never hunted in the east where any animal shot on public property that's not DRT will have someone elses tag on it before you get to it.
I've taken 35+ whitetails. 75% never went more than a few feet, and the majority of those (probably around 14 animals) never left the tracks they were standing in. The only time I've hit one in the spine was when I muffed the shot.
Besides, tracking out animals wastes time better spent on dragging them out of the woods.
