I had an arrow hit a deer sideways once when the wind was gusting. Shot was inside 25 yards .
Deer have been know to " jump the string" actually crouch at the shot and have the arrow hit high or go right over them.
I have seen deer move just as a hunter shot and get hug badly as well , but that was at 200. Interestingly enough , I have never seen it happen at long distance but I am sure it does.

Birds can do weird things in flight as well.
I don't like shooting at running game but have several times - shots were all well inside 75 yards however .

Yep, you can never take the shot back just own up to the outcome.
Things happen up close and far, just insure you finish what you started.
