    If you take a professional personal defense course that features firearm instruction, you may learn that this sort of thing happens when shooting 'bad guys' too. It has to do with basic biology.

    Gunshots to the torso cause blood to leak. In creatures where the head is high, such as deer or 'bad guys', the blood first drains away from the brain, causing the creature to faint and assume a horizontal position. The shooter may well assume that the wound was fatal at that point. However, blood begins flowing back into the brain and the 'bad guy' or deer may quickly regain consciousness with a bad attitude.

    Don't assume that just because they've gone horizontal they have become dead in the Hollywood fashion. As that hunter discovered, and as cops or other folks sometimes discover, biology doesn't always provide such a convenient outcome.
