I’ve shot a lot of medium and big fur. Distance and size of the animal has usually been a factor in how fast the game animal hits dirt.
Many collapsed on the shot. Some stood stunned and unable to take a step, just toppling over.
And others have bolted for 50-60 yards, falling dead in mid run...
A few months back a cow elk I smacked with a good first shot with a 7/08 right behind the shoulder just above her heart went a couple yards and stood there sick until I sent a second shot into her just above where the first shot hit to finish her.
My uneducated guess from actually hunting and shooting schit is placement and energy from what your shooting will usually determine DRT or a possible rodeo to collect a big game animal. 😎
