[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1728072, member: 31264"] I've been hunting for 55 years and killed over 50 deer. In my experience, that sound means nothing except a hit. It is the sound of a bullet hitting flesh. The pitch of the sound is more related to the caliber than it is to the nature of the hit. A pellet gun makes a whack sound when it hits a startling. A varmint rifle makes a whump sound when it hits a gopher or a coyote. A deer rifle makes thwaruck when it hits a deer or a coyote, and so on. I've never seen or noticed any correlation between the hit location on the game and the sound. Just my two cents for whatever it's worth. [/QUOTE]
