But you will have to go find it unless its surprised and stood still until it fell.

Ironically and for humour, im going to say its sufficient.

Irony indeed. very good.



Why do you think deer don't drop every time from shock with a front shoulder/lung placement, even with very large bullets and high impact energy, if that is the mechanism that causes it?


I think the "instant incapacitation" is either CNS damage from bullet or bone fragments, or enough of the lungs and major blood vessels being destroyed by the wound channel that there's more or less instant loss of blood pressure. But whether or not it happens appears to be highly placement specific
