Son shot a nice buck this weekend woth montec g5 carbon and the shot was a double lung nearly perfect shot, but a middle to high lung shot. Blood initially was drops until it filled the chest to the wound and then it was gushes. Of course tracking at night makes a huge difference to daytime, but with a short bit of work we found him down less or right at 100 yards away.
My xbow shoots grim reapers and i have never been dosappointed with one of my shots, but someone shooting it hit a doe and we tracked it over 400 yards before the trail disappeared and we never recovered her.
when tracking, the biggest thing i have found is to dispel any misconceptions about where the animal went and just follow the blood. Looking for signs of an animal passing through quickly also help, broken limbs, disrupted ground, anything can help. But, thinking you know the animal “went left” can make you miss where the animal actually went and make a bad trailing experience.
