I didn't read this whole mess and don't care to.
What I can tell you is very simple.
If you do not cause some kind of trauma/damage to the deer's spine, it will not be a DRT kill.
If anyone argues this fact with you Dan, don't listen.
Contrary to what some may believe, a high shoulder shot causes trauma to the spine. As does a head or neck shot.
There is one more way to anchor a deer, and I have done it countless times. Did it twice this past season. Angle shot through vitals and take out front shoulder. If you wipe out the heart and or lungs, and knock the deer off it's feet at the same time, it may not die instantly, but there is a very good chance of it not getting back up. Maybe this shot also cause trauma to spine, not positive. I just know it works.
That's it. Use whatever bullet you want, but place it wisely Grasshopper........
