Double lung shot deer usually ran off, no blood trail for 50-100 yds. Found them at 150-200 yards dead. If no snow tracking is often very hard and not successful. Sure I have left deer that we could not find. I about gave the whole thing up till I started to cheat and use other projectiles. The only advantage they gave was in finding the animal that was already shot. Now we can use about anything we want. Spine shot deer are not really even a topic, anything will kill them then. I thought my point was clear. If the only thing a more modern projectile really accomplishes is a quicker kill, then why outlaw it. Of course I am forgetting that I have to use an iron sighted flintlock, and most are not so limited.
