There is no skill or knowledge that one can have that will tell you if an animal is going to move after you take your shot. The further away you are, the more time the bullet spends in the air, and the more time the animal has to do something unpredictable.
You have both knowledge and skill in stalking and shooting. But to drop your animal, the best bet whenever possible is to stalk in closer. You can more precisely place your bullet. Have less environmentals to deal with, and deliver more energy to the target. Can i shoot out to 500yds well, yes. Would i take that shot on an animal, no, there is too much chance of the animal moving between when i pull the trigger and when the bullet gets to the target.
