Here's another situation I see on TV and in the field. I think that animals on alert....meaning stopping the animal before you shoot them as apposed to the animals feeding and the hunter shoots without notice, are usually the death dashers. Regardless if the bullet exits or not...those animals seem to always run. I think if you suprise them with a shoulder shot...they drop. As always the neck, head and spine shots 99% of the time they drop. I read the articles posted earlier and I can see the point in them. Somewhat scientific for most people, but I see the point. Anywho, it could go either way. I just like the exit wound because some animals are capable of LOOOOONG death dashes and with a small entrance wound and no exit wound, a long tracking job could be difficult.
