I've had a "dead" wallaby come round in boot of car when home in the city( some quick grabbing and smack on head with short pribar sorted that one) had been hit with buckshot hours earlier. The other one is opening game bag,duck flies out and we fall over laughing about it.apparently not uncommon for bird to be stunned and recover.lost fat mallard that dropped from sky then recovered and flew off as dog approached.

A mate had a dog jump in just as he shot a bailed pig. Put a 44mag right through the rib cage. Everyone thought we were down one dog, but he walked out of the bush and after a rest fully recovered.
