Congrats on a great 8, well done sir.
First buck I had run toward me after the shot was years ago with an 18.5 inch barrel 7mm-08 not exactly a quite gun. I think they get hit and run simple as that sometimes straight sometimes right angle. Several since then have run toward me after being shot, one was a doe at 450 or so yards. She ran about 75 yards stopped looked back where she had been got the wobbles and fell over on a pasture road making for very easy recovery. Both of those actually ran, stopped and looked back at where they were when hit before toppling over.
A deer is hit with a bullet before it can hear any noise from the shot but just barely. I think they know something painful happened and run some direction. People think they are being charged by hogs after they shot them but I think they were just standing where the hog ran.
