Game that didn't bleed were all misses...i assume. Game that bled and "got away" were bad shots...i assume. Theres no way to actually know what happened in the first two scenarios. Game that died and i actually recovered a bullet...well, the bullet worked i guess. That said, there have been numerous posts about bullets working and not working on the campfire. I have recovered elk that had been shot in previous seasons and lived and elk that i shot but thought the bullet should have behaved..."better".

Pictures of bullets recovered from elk that were shot in a previous season and lived until i shot them...
