[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 341721, member: 2736"] Having killed several hundred deer sized animals with a bow and more than that with a rifle ,pistol, muzzle loader ETC I will say there is a big difference in the effects of a rifle kill compared to a bow kill. If you shoot a dear that is at rest and not excited (NO Adrenalin) some times they won't even move and just drop dead in a few seconds. if they are alerted they always run. there is no damaged tissue around the wound and blood loss is heavy (Inside or out). If you shoot a deer with a rifle and he is at rest he may not run at all but is normally knocked out by the impact and expires while down.If he is alerted he may run even though he is fatally wounded because of the Adrenalin.If shot in the guts with ether bow or gun they will rarely go down immediately because the area can absorb a lot of energy without impacting the more vital organs that are protected by the diaphragm. There is now doubt that blood loss and lack of oxygen are the main causes of death after any shot, bow or gun .But the shock of the impact and shock wave caused by the bullet shuts down the central nervous system and causes the game to black out temporarily until it dies due blood loss and trauma. As we all know some times an animal will wake up and run off if not mortally wounded. So I think it contributes to the overall effect of a gun shot on game and if trauma is enough to cause excessive blood loss it can kill even though no vital organs are hit or affected.
