[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2329010, member: 106845"] I’m not a doctor, first of all, so I’m not qualified to make such medical determinations. That said, I completely agree it doesn’t always happen. I don’t believe I said it always happens either. There has to be sufficient trauma to a nerve center to shut down the CNS. Blowing your face off isn’t hitting a plexus of nerves. Not everyone gets knocked out in a fight either. Each individual tends to be different. Animals would be the same. Their anatomy does differ a bit from humans though too. I have seen first hand plenty of examples where an animal has defied the odds and didn’t drop and even ran with wounding you’d never think would allow it to be possible. Strange things do happen. If I implied I was talking in absolutes in my posts, I didn’t mean to. As far as the “temporary coma”, this is something I’ve seen mentioned in multiple places, including Nathan Foster describe it. I believe you would be able to find him mention it in some of his articles on his website even. It’s just a term I’ve also decided to use to best describe what I’ve seen. There are likely millions by now cases of animals being shot in the body and shoulders and didn’t receive sufficient hydrostatic shock to drop. It has a lot to do with the particular bullet and how it transfers that energy and shockwave. It depends on where it hits too. It depends on a lot of things really, to include the animal itself.
