Two brothers in Namibia went hunting, one with a camera, the other with a 308Win. They wanted an action shot, and got just that!!
 
The springbuck was taken with a 300 yd shot, right on the nose. The brother caught the shot as the bullet exited the head, but before the animal dropped. One can see the spray behind the head, the ears drooping and the neck swelling with the impact force.
 
What a pic !!

Very neat.  The timing is impressive, and a shot of luck helps too.
