--- Quote from: Bob33 on December 07, 2024, 05:26:00 PM ---It is rare for an animal that isn't shot in the head or spinal cord to die instantly. The animal may become unconscious or collapse from shock but is alive for several seconds. It is somewhat of a mystery why some animals collapse instantly while other animals shot in the same way run. In my experience it seems that bigger animals like elk and moose collapse more often than smaller animals like pronghorns.

I tend to agree to no rhyme or reason, especially with bears. Harvested exactly 30, and been in on many other kills. In my head it would be a rough guess of 50/50 on DRT and short runs. Array of calibers, ranges, bullets, angles, and sizes.  But dead is dead in the end. Shot a bull moose at 450 yards and wash the most classic “Bang Flop” I’ve ever witnessed. Can figure how to share the video though

Boom flop every time we slaughter a steer :dunno:

I've had three.
2023 bear
2024 bear
2024 mule deer

Both bears were hit in the heart with Accubonds, 180gr and 165gr. The deer 143gr ELD-X. All three were lying where they were shot.

I stand hunt for deer and most of the animals I shoot bang flop. This year I saw my deer folding up before recoil hit me (pretty common) and I shot my bull in chest as he was facing me with muzzleloader at 80 yds and his legs collapsed under him. Nice when you get quick clean kills.

I've had a few bang flops. 30-06, .270win, .243win. All were deer, except one big cow elk with the .270win. The .243win has given me the most bang flops. If not a bang flop, pretty extremely rare to not watch them fall over before getting out of sight.
