Was that the exit wound?  Were the lungs cut up good?

Switched to mechanical this year.  In the past I have been lucky with watching them go down.  I still trail for practice.  Even on heart shots the blood trails with fixed blades left a lot to be desired.  I forget who said it and what exactly was said but it was along the lines of with mechanical's there is a slight chance it will fail, but you are guaranteed to have *censored*ty blood trails with fixed blades.  Out here Id think you would have more of a chance of not recovering an animal due to *censored*ty fixed blade blood trails/less cutting diameter than having a mechanical fail.

IL take savora's cruddy fixed blade blood trails over a slight chance of failure any day

You get a really sharp fixed blade with a good design and there will be blood...lots of it

Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak.
