I bet the bullet hit his spine. Hence the immediately floppy dead. As opposed to being due to the blood loss.

Yeah to me it looked like he had a fencing response, which can accompany head/spine injuries. Wouldn't be surprised if the bullet hit his upper spine or ricocheted into the base of his skull or something.

The hydrostatic shock likely would have pulverized his brain stem on a hit like that. It wouldn't have to direct hit the spine.

More likely is hydrostatic shock knocked him out imo.

That would make some sense, but I'm doubtful about the bullet caliber. I've seen what 30-06 does to large game, and it very rarely stops even when hitting bone. Especially if he was shot with a hunting round (which are designed to flare out and dump energy) we would have seen a truly massive exit wound.

Sounds like God really wanted him dead.

That caliber bullet does not care about his spine. Honestly his head should have exploded.
