Oh yes they do

I had a huge red hind bite me on the arm when I thought it was dead and she diddnt want to be

I screamed and the deer let go then I had to jump on it with the knife

I had ptsd after that hahahahahaha

.303 brit at 100yards works through chest into shoulder....my old man wasnt too impressed with my shot placement,silly young scrub bull was in with our cows,close enough to track and I liked beef steak so bugger it I says,down he goes. at most he stayed on feet for 20 seconds and didnt travel uphill away from track. agree wounding one could be dangerous and WE ALL WANT HUMAINE quick kills.

Not wild, but ive shot a few with 270. They are tough and one point to consider is do they know you are there? If calmly feeding they will go down quickly, if riled up they wont go straight down with a chest shot. neck is only for a stout projectile and head will do it, but just dont shoot low.
