Not too unlike bullet failure stories from the skinning shed...

Just because a bullet kills something doesn't mean it worked as it was designed to.

Likewise lots of critters get multiple bullets in them. Some may have not been fatal for whatever reason, or would be fatal only after several miles of running.

If a bullet designed for penetration explodes on an elk's shoulder bone, but a small piece of it makes it to the lungs, then the hunter finally finds the elk miles later, would you say the bullet didn't fail? It killed the elk after all.

Good points, all.

I like DRT, or at least a short death run.

So, a critter being dead and found, ending up in the skinning shed, doesn’t guarantee the bullet performed optimally.

Seeing how it worked (or didn’t) can be interesting.

Suboptimal performance may not technically be failure with a hanging dead critter.
