All my shortest tracking jobs on elk have been shots which the bullet did not pass through. Average distance after being hit 20yds. Sure you can't have a ballistic tip or the like explode on the surface and expect a freezer full but [bleep] pressed up against the hide on the other side does not go very far IME.
