Don't you think that a good portion of those scenes are simply shown with any follow up edited out?
Bob answered this well. I see it SO much when the hunter spines the deer....then sits down (after said high-5's and gives a dissertaion of the hunt. What's that animal doing while he's doing this?
Pan away.....and pan back to hunter....who SHOULD be in a "little" more somber mood......
"After a follow-up shot.....the deer was dispatched and we had our buck". Then.....go about the show....
I've never seen this done....and I watch a lot of hunting shows.
