[Scorch]

It will work on any animal, but it is not a shot an ethical hunter should take, in my opinion. The risk of wounding is so large that no one should try it intentionally. Like any arterial hit, the animal will bleed out very quickly, but you have to shoot it right through a large muscle to get to the artery. With a bow, you will likely hit the paunch after passing through the leg. With a rifle, this will ruin a lot of meat and break a leg, then hit the paunch. If you miss the artery, your wounded animal will cover 2 miles so fast you will think it evaporated. It will likely die from the wound after several days of suffering.

Ethically, we hunters should always try to dispatch the game quickly, humanely, and as painlessly as possible. This is not the way to do any of those things.
