exactly!!....track or shoot an animal....or choose what to use when n where. don't assume being old and wise, having big $ for fancy hunts, or killing twice as many animals makes one more deserving of respect or anything else. 30+ yrs of hunting and everyone in your neighborhood doing the same adds up to a lot.

Exactly. But you will have trouble here. If no blood because a boolit did not exit, you will not track a single deer because trails are solid tracks from many, many deer. Hundreds of trails all over the place. Trails that split, split again and again.
ONLY BLOOD LEAVES A TRAIL for the animal you shot so what would you do if you don't find any? Hard ground, rock, high grass, weeds, dry leaves and trails full of tracks. Not a single person here including me can find a deer without blood.
I have tracked half the night with a Coleman lantern,ran out of blood, had to go back in the morning and guess how I found the deer? CROWS found it. I went to the crows.
