When you get lucky and the animal drops quickly, it makes no difference. When you get unlucky and tracking is required, it makes all the difference.

It's smarter to plan that you might get unlucky and be prepared, and then if things go well you're pleasantly surprised. When you plan on everything going right, the consequences are predictable.
