These things do happen. A guy at our place one time shot a buck at about ~80 yds or so with a 243 dropd him in his tracks. Well after a couple mins or so while they were waiting to go up to the deer , they see the buck get up like NOTHING happend and run off. Not one drop of blood we got about 10 men to search the enire area for hours...nothing. Dont always think they r dead just cause they drop after you shoot ; )

ON another note... hogs are dangerous too. We had a guy attacked on our place one time after he had shot the hog with a 270. He left his gun at the stand and when he went up to it he got charged and trampled him and tore him up pretty bad. He finally was able to get his gone and shoot him in the head. I think he got up over him somehow .. he was lucky
