animals kick and move around long after they are dead.....even human bodies can do it DAYS after being dead! I've been kicked hard by animals 30 minutes after they were dead.....



40+ years of hunting and i have never encountered zombie deer or other critters
How about you ? Just curious since my experience has been that dead is dead and if its moving it aint completely dead yet .
Ive had deer kick , thrash , gasp for air , etc but they werent quite dead . Once the death process was complete i havent had one move . Am i the only one ?

Corpses have been known to sit up in Funeral Homes, days after they died. Some were even already embalmed.

Spirits from humans already having passed-on, have been known to create electrical current changes in bulbs, TV screens, radio stations......etc.... and sustain enough energy to move objects off shelves, rattle tables.....etc....etc.

Personally, I have never witnessed the 2nd Coming of a dead deer. 99% of ours are gutted within 15 minutes after expiring. None have ever complained when being sliced open.

you ever skin a snake or lizard and it still moves? Nerves/reflexes.

Bingo

Reptiles yes, snappers yes, mammals , no !

Nope, i reload and walk down to the deer. Never seen one do anything but lay there motionless if the shot was good.

Of course i don't use bullets that frag 99% of the time for deer either.

We were talking apples and you change the subject to oranges. I have never been kicked by a snake Lol

Dead people (corpses) do not set up in funeral homes days after they've died, especially after embalmment. Where did you come up with that? Immediately after death, there may be gas or air escape, but no setting up days after death and certainly not after a body has been embalmed.

Muscle movement is caused by electrical reaction from nerves. Immediately after death when the electrical signals to these nerves ceases, those nerves relax, which at most may cause a minor twitch. NOT a corpse setting up days after death or after embalmment.

Nope, you're not the only one.

I got kicked by a frog once 6 months after I shot him with my frog killing 58 cal. It was kinds a funny threw his hind legs in the cast iron skillet and he tried to jump out. I have seen a few turkeys get resurrected and have heard tells of deer getting up and running off after being shot dead. May it was just an involuntary muscle twitch that made'em get up and rundoft however, I don't have any direct experience..... Nope wait a minute I do have an experience on a Wounded Warrior deer hunt in Milan , TN I shot small buck at 70 yds and when I finically got to where I shot him in an open cotton field he wasn't there. Found him a 100 yds down the field. I believe I have seen enough death to say animals including humans can and do have involuntary muscle twitch even after death. I can't say that it happens days after the death but I am sure we can agree if the head of a chicken is cutoff then it's dead but it still flops... Just my 1 cent worth of opinion...
