My theory is that some deer are tougher. Kinda like dudes. Some are just tougher than others. Some can take it, some can't. Deer that drop in their tracks are wimps. The one's that run a long distance after being shot are are the tough guys.
Hows that for an uneducated theory? ;D

result of a controlled study carried out by professional veterinarians engaged in a buffalo culling operation.
data gathered during the culling operation was taken from a number of animals. Even more important, the animals were then examined and dissected in a scientific manner by professionals.
Predictably, some of the buffalo dropped where they were shot and some didn't, even though all received near-identical hits in the vital heart-lung area. When the brains of all the buffalo were removed, the researchers discovered that those that had been knocked down instantly had suffered massive rupturing of blood vessels in the brain. The brains of animals that hadn't fallen instantly showed no such damage.
Their conclusion was that the bullets that killed instantly had struck just at the moment of the animal's heartbeat! The arteries to the brain, already carrying a full surge of blood pressure, received a mega-dose of additional pressure from the bullet's impact, thus creating a blood pressure overload and rupturing the vessels.
Yeah, that and Newton's First Law as applied to game: "A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest."Aeon said:Not that i am humble but IMHO.....
Adrenaline is the missing part of the equation here. Animals that are freaked out and in panic mode tend to do some crazy stuff
