Yes it should.
Did you know that if you shoot a man in the finger with .45acp it'll knock him flat-ass down?

This one gets old and often why people never find thier deer or call for help to begin with. The absolute first thing you must do when tracking is be honest with yourself. What is the sign telling you? You make think you drilled him perfect but if the sign says otherwise you have to admit to yourself you made a bad shot and BACK OUT!
Most people won't do this, bump the deer, and F everything up. I've had guys argue with me when they've called me over to help. They just kept pushing, and you guessed it they bumped that deer and never found it.
EVERYONE makes a bad shot at some point and the sooner you admit that and face that fact the better your chances are of finding that animal.
Y'know, I've heard that before. I think it was my drill instructor. Of course he is the one that shot his own hand demonstrating the "slide detent safety". Come to think of it, he didn't go down he just asked if anyone had a Band-aid. Shoots that myth don't it?
Fred would fling an arrow. Howard Hill said if you want to kill something you got to put some wood in the air. Teddy Roosevelt liked to get close as he was a notoriously poor shot but also "was a big proponent of powder burning" if he couldn't get close. You read the accounts of early gun slingers west of the big bend in the Missouri and they'd just cut loose in the general direction of entire groups of critters a fair poke away then saunter over and see what they hit. Some old time shootin'.
Often in rifle season I think about ol James Jordan cutting loose with that 25-20 at a buck the size of your average donkey.
On my pet peeve of neck shots, pro deer cullers would take them if they were the magic pill old goobers say they are. Grandpa did a lot things the hard way, ask grandma.

What's up with the "old goobers" thing? Just because you may disagree with a comment from someone that doesn't do it your way and is older, is it necessary to denigrate them for your personal gratification to make you feel better in some way?
Do you know why and where I shoot my deer, and do you approve or disapprove so I can be in or out of your identity politics?
Sever their spine and they dont run.
With a machete??
With a bullet, I've killed deer with 12ga slug and .308. They drop DRT.
