Wasn't done in Texas, there is a lot of the world south of me. What it does strongly suggest was that unless the bullet stuck and damaged the spine or something connected to the spine like the shoulder the bullet impact has very little incapacitating effect from a "shockwave". Since the shoulder blade lies directly over the neck / back junction hitting the shoulder causes paralyzing trauma to the spine. The bullet hole did the rest while the animal was incapacitated.
All of the animals were shot from elevated stands so high shoulder shots also were lung shots. 49% of the deer ran an average of 59 yards after being shot, before dieing. All were shot with centerfire rifles. So close range and centerfire rifles, it sure looks like the mythical shock wave failed to turn up doesn't it?
