I'll take DRT every time. I typically shoot for CNS or take out both shoulders. Lots of my hunting is in steep country and wounded deer just about always run downhill making recovery difficult.
The day before leaving on my first safari I took an 80lb buck with my 375 H&H. Since they always want you to do heart shots in Africa, I decided to do that with this little buck.He ran down into a canyon about 150 yards leaving a blood trail that Stevie Wonder could have followed. Dragging him out was no fun. DRT is AOK.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
