I think I'm okay at tracking out to 100m ish but after that with no blood it's really tricky in the bush,for me anyway.
I've put 8 deer on the ground since my first in February, all public land in the Kaimais/ Waioeka area. First 2 animals were with Nosler 165s and they did some serious damage, full blown out shoulder and exit wound.
Since switching to ELD-X head and neck shots are sweet as, drop them on the spot. But up close shoulder & lung shots there isn't the type of damage that I would expect and no exit wounds or blood trails.
Just thought I would ask the question as I have no idea about the ELD-Xs i just brought them on a recommendation.
Appreciate the feedback
