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.
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.
I noticed his head went in the same direction the bullet entered, you would think his head would go away from where the bullet entered so maybe it did hit the spine and cause the head to push forward.
This is an extremely famous phenomenon in ballistics, popularized by the JFK assasination. Penn and Teller even did a breakdown of why this happens at one point. It’s pretty interesting to look into!
I bet the bullet hit his spine. Hence the immediately floppy dead. As opposed to being due to the blood loss.

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.
Sounds like God really wanted him dead.
That caliber bullet does not care about his spine. Honestly his head should have exploded.
