Thread: A question for the doubters

To add to my last post. Have you ever had an animal drop on the spot, only to get up some time later and run off? I have and I know others that have. I doubt if this would be a thing if the CNS was damaged or it had lost blood pressure?

I've shot and seen other deer shot unconscious with my .243  One gave me a rough ride for what felt like 5mins when i grabbed it by the spikes as it was waking up! I cut its throat after squealing out for my mate to help me!

Only when I've had the bullet physically contact bone housing CNS squidgies. E.g. a bullet nicking a skull and not penetrating, or hitting the spinal processes high above the spine.
