Pretty much ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ it right there
I've killed more than a few deer that were able to
make it to cover with red jello for innards

Never had any problems getting one back to where
I could put the pieces in freezer bags though.

only answer to getting one to drop in it's tracks
that I could offer is to pop it in the head with a
precise rifle shot, or blow it down with a bunch
of buckshot or similar . It's either that, or sacrifice
a goodly portion of useable meat
