[QUOTE="Hooker, post: 919349, member: 5819"] I've seen a lot of deer that were hit and not leave a blood trail for quite a ways. Gut shot deer are apt to not leave a good blood trail if any. I always hunt with my scope at it's lowest power setting when a deer is close you have no time for fiddling with the scope. I also practice with my scope at it's lowest setting. I only use the highest setting for load development and long range shots that offer plenty of time to take the shot. Depending on how high your scope is mounted above the bore of the rifle you could have been a much as 2 inches low. This is why it is so important to practice at at shorter ranges. Most guys practice at 100 yards and have no idea where their bullet is at 25 , 50 and 75 yards. This is a big mistake as most deer are taken at way less than 100 yards. Pat [/QUOTE]
