Souci,
Guess which way he ran?
Downhill, of course. Check the last pic... this was the hillside I was hunting. Not exactly a Kansas cornfield. Cell-phone pics suck, but I think you get the picture.
Lucky for me he ran into a pile of blow-down, and crashed. Otherwise he might have made it to the bottom of the canyon.
So my answer to your question to Boxer is, "Hell yes a critter can live for more than 'seconds'".
Where the hell do you get this idea that animals die within seconds?
