I shot one a while back and once he was out of sight I heard a loud snap. He had a decent blood trail but could see him from the spot I shot him at. Initially I figured the snap was a tree limb breaking but when I found him it was obvious he broken his neck running away. He hit a twin 4" dogwood and dropped right there. The shot had cut his carotid and it appeared he lost enough blood pressure fast enough that about 3 or 4 seconds after the hit he was running at full speed and lost vision. Anybody else have any super quick kills like this.

I was hunting at the bottom of a bluff with a 25-30' drop one day when a doe ran over the edge at full speed. She sailed through the air like one of Santa's reindeer before dropping like a rock. When she hit the ground, she didn't move. Her neck was broken by the fall. I don't know if she was sending an "over my dead body" message to a buck chasing her or indeed practicing for Santa's crew, but it was the strangest thing I ever saw while hunting.
