[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1201354, member: 7123"] Deer slayer, that absolute statement is absolutely incorrect. You can NOT guarantee that with a shoulder shot - if you don't actually break the shoulder, which is not guaranteed, they're gonna run at least 50% of the time, even if you use a .577 Tyrannosaur. There's a video on youtube with a deer shot with a .50 BMG - took out its heart, and put a massive hole right through it, but it took off like a shot and ran a long ways. And pigs can be tougher than deer. Neck / head shot = approx. 5% chance (or less) of tracking, if you hit Heart/lung shot = approx. 50% chance of tracking, if you hit I know which odds I prefer.
