Such as deer, elk, antelope, moose, bear, etc.....You get the picture.....What happens, does the animal drop on the spot, run a little ways, a long ways, etc?

Personally, I have only had 1 deer run more than a few steps after being shot with a high powered rifle. I got to thinking of this subject reading another thread tonite and while watching the Outdoor Channel the last few days.

Seems like all the big name guys, shoot a deer, and it proceeds to run out of sight. Does this happen to everyone? Why is it they hardly ever drop in their tracks on film?

I guess I'm just curious as to what others have had happen after the shot.
