I usually put my rifle on safe and sling it on my left shoulder. I then approach silently from downwind. Then I run towards the downed animal and leap onto it's back.
If it jumps up or bites me or otherwise shows signs of being alive, I will wish I just poked it in the eye like I normally do!
LOL! Reminds me of a friend that ended up riding a bull Nilgai through the brush. Shredded the shirt off his back and cut him up pretty good.
