They did that in that movie "the bear".
From what I remember they were poachers hunting brown bear w/ a 30/30.
Think they said they couldnt kill it w/ one shot fast enough so they would shoot the hindquarters so it couldnt run away as fast.
Then I guess they would fire the finishing shot(s).
They also used their knives to carve X's in the tip of their bullets for max stopping power.
