I shoot to bust both shoulder blades. I want DRT.
Easy for me to say why. I am blue/green and red/orange color blind. That is to say my red and oranges tend to look a lot alike.
While I can track many animals that aren't dropping blood, do it where I hunt is difficult. I have seen as many as 18 deer in one night on the same location. Try and discern a hit deer in that jumble of overturned leaves, dirt and hoof prints is darn near impossible.
While blood on show is easy to follow - aiming for the shoulder is so instinctive with a rifle - I tend to do so regardless of snow condition.
