No Country for Old Men

[Wild Bill]

Did Llewelyn kill the pronghorn buck? He had a solid rest with the boot on the rock. Remington Model 700, unknown caliber. Clearly hit it, but was it a fatal shot? Pronghorn aren’t exactly the toughest customers.
If he doesn’t cross the dogs intersecting blood trail, does he find the buck and bring it back to Carla Jean at the trailer?
Google says no.
What do you say?
I say he finds it.

I always imagine it ran off and died. I've watched this movie 20 times and I always have a little angst when he leaves the antelope blood trail for curiosity.

It definitely died. I made a similar shot on one a number of years ago. Watched it bed down after a couple hundred yards and stalked in and finished it

Side note, the Del Rio parts were shot in Las Vegas, NM. Accidentally stayed at the hotel where Woody Harrelson's character met his demise, drove over the bridge used as the entrance to Mexico.

If it were a deer I'd say no but man them pronghorn seem to fold super easy. It's not a great hit if memory serves. Certainly dosen't appear to hit with those crosshairs are.

Awesome movie. I never did really like the hunting scene though.

A fantastic movie. That scene was the first time I had seen pronghorn and I immediately decided I wanted to hunt them.
