Amount of blood splatter / bleeding when shot?

Depends. If you hit it properly in the lungs and or heart it's dead very quickly and the blood just pools in the lungs and body cavity I've found.

>>34524610
I did before coming here. There aren't any good closeups after an animal has been shot that I could find.

>>34524602
As a previous anon said, it all depends.

A heart shot with a clear enrty and exit will certainly bleed quite a bit.

The animal will likely be moving after the shot so although there will be a lot of blood, it will ideally be spread out in the trail of the animal in the form of spurted droplets.

Usually you don't see the spatter from the hit unless it was severe.

I guess if there's no clear exit, the blood would fill the cavity mad by the bullet? I'm thinking of a situation where an animal was shot in the heart, but there was no clear exit wound. Maybe that would just cause it to bleed more from the front.

Very rarely will rifle bullets appropriate for hunting not exit whitetail sized animals at ethical hunting ranges.

What are you trying to imply?

>>34524811
...are you confused or something?

Do I need to spell it out?

>>34524841
Some standards and practices would be lovely, yes.

It depends on whether you hunt with assault weapons or not. An assault weapon will literally vaporize the deer, leaving a red smear ten yards in every direction plus four freestanding hooves.

>>34524805
Okay, that makes sense and gives me a better idea of the kinds of injuries animals would probably have.
>>34524870
No, I was thinking just a regular rifle.

He's completely fucking with you m8

>>34524870
Can confirm, went hunting with my AR-15 once, just normally .223 rounds, i shot a 12 point buck and the fucker literally lit on fire and exploded minutes later.

>>34524879
Yeah I know.

>>34524866
Don't shoot a deer with a .223 at 500 yards and expect it to fully penetrate.
There's a reason long range hunters stick with bigger 7mm and .30 cals, and sometimes 6.5

Good trips.

20 ga. 30 yards, staggered 1 yard and dropped. Pic related is exit hole (notice the bone shards).

What do you want to hunt, and what tools do have available.

>>34524866
Don't shoot game animals with fragmenting bullets (varmint bullets, match hollowpoint bullets)--they get insufficient penetration.

Don't shoot game animals with military FMJ bullets--they leave inconsistent and potentially insufficient wound channels and are by name illegal in the US for big game.

Keep your shots to within a distance to where the bullet retains at least 300 FPE. This will vary by caliber. For really large game like elk and bigger keep it above 500 FPE.

Keep your shots within 1 second bullet flight time. Beyond that, even if you did everything right the animal can move enough to lead to a bad hit.

If you're new to hunting don't push your limits. It's a whole different than shooting steel at the range.
Also, don't skimp on the magnification of whatever scope you decide to use (unless you're gonna use irons)
.308 is perfect for a beginner since you'll get a lot of practice with how cheap it is. And you'll easily be able to hunt out to 300 yards without having to think about different bullet drop numbers if you zero the rifle at 200 yards.

Why are you shooting females?
Also, I hope you fucked rhetoric corpse

Thanks Anons

Lots of places have antlerless-only tags available. They tend to be much cheaper.

Last year I shot a doe through the heart with a 150gn .308 round. It blew out the sternum, cut the heart in two, and blasted a silver dollar sized hole out the opposite shoulder.

The deer ran about twenty yards before it piled up. It left most of its blood along the way.

Here's what I'll say. When you shoot something there will be blood. But less than you think. Once the heart stops beating (or can't beat) it stops circulating. Not all of it is going to simply flow out of the body into the ground.

Even slaughtered farm animals need to be hung to allow gravity to do the work.

Depending on the damage of the shot, this will vary. Especially on a human. And especially for, say, a headshot. The head is basically a bubble full of blood, cerebral fluid and the brain. The brain being almost jelly like in composition. So all that is going flying if you land a powerful enough shot.

>Tl;dr it varies, but generally less blood than you'd think.

I'm the guy who shot the antelope in

It was over 300 yards with a .300wm. Broke both shoulders, blew both lungs and the aortic arch out the far side. It still managed to wheelbarrow itself 30ish yards.

Thankfully it was flat and the sage was short, because I get up to where I hit him and here's this giant fan of blood and lung bits and NO FUCKING BLOOD TRAIL
