[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 870035, member: 5219"] Love the fact that old threads can pop up here and still be relevant years later. I am not fond of finding shot game still alive and am always cautious when approaching a "dead" animal. Last year I walked up to my downed cow elk. Her eye was open. I did the usual poke with the rifle barrel and IT WINKED. Never had seen that before. She expired within a minute or so and didn't require a finishing shot. Sure glad I didn't grab a hind leg to begin gutting her. I did exactly what Kirby did on a javelina. I shot it not too far from my truck. I walked back to move the truck then proceeded to the javelina with just my knife. Got to the animal and it was very much alive but mortally wounded. I debated jumping on it and cutting its throat but the rapid clacking of its teeth quickly changed my mind. I walked back to the truck 100 yds away and got my 38 snubnose which ended the situation. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
