[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 873350, member: 30902"] After seeing some of the other replies it seems I failed to answer your key question. Shot placement is everything. If you don't break the shoulders and/or directly interrupt the CNS (brain/spine) most of them are going to travel till either their lungs fill with blood or they bleed out either internally/externally and as some of the other posters pointed out, they just don't all act the same. Some animals are simply tougher to bring down than others as well. I've seen Pronghorns do some amazing things in spite of having an absolutely fatal first shot running hundreds of yards before giving it up. [/QUOTE]
