Here is a video of a deer twitching sometime after it was killed.

No one cares about the big horn sheep. God I love this video.

That is a GREAT video! Line of the year!

In regards to the OP's question, I have had a few deer twitch now and then over the years, always within a short time period after I killed them. Doesn't happen often, but I have seen it. Now a dead guy that's been dead for days and embalmed sitting up in a casket... I'm not buying that one.
