Animal impact sound - bullets

[Sled]

I sometimes miss the sound when hunting in trees, close quarters. In open spaces it's unmistakable. You can also tell the difference between a hit in the vitals or a hit in the paunch. Very different sound, hollow vs a solid hit.

I will add, the last animal I shot suppressed was in a tight wooded area. The impact was clean with no keyhole but I hear a ricochet sound instead of the body hit. I was almost convinced I missed as the herd busted out. I always check for blood and found a cow elk slid downhill from it. She never took a step.

I hear it nearly every time. Even when shooting squirls over 400 yards, most of the time I hear the whack. That's with a .223.

Some of my farther shots I see the animal drop and start rolling, then hear the impact.
