I know that Dave King has some interesting info on the reaction of big game animals to being shot (I particularly like his "Bang-Flop!), perhaps we could share some opinions and experiences on this topic.
There seems to be some definite trends in animal reaction to hits in various regions of the body - heart, lungs, guts, etc. Since reading this forum I have learned that there are probably two significant types of reactions, dependant on the distance from the shooter (extreme distance whereby the animal does not know he is being shot at vs closer shots).
I have some personal data based on killing several hundred head of big game, look forward to hearing from other hunters in this group.
