About the .243 Win. . I have also seen it make no blood trails. However , the other day I shot a doe just before closing.. I would have sworn up and down I hit that deer where I aimed. As I shot, it turned around and ran almost towards me. i shoot again and it spun around and died right there. Skinning it out , I was amazed that I missed the first shot and the second shot was way off . The bullet was about 16" back and high. I must have blew out the kidney and put it in shock . No other explanation for it. I missed the heart and I think the lungs. When gutting, I never saw so much blood in the cavity. It was some old Remington bullets I bought for $10/100 years back . Not hot reloads neither. Just maybe , the lost deer with no blood was a miss. There is so much brush that I am sure it was deflected and didnt see the twigs. Just saying .
