I had that happen with rabbits. After i got out of service 2 tours. Was at my parents place in the country. Noone had been shooting on the property while i was gone. I set up a ladder stand and after 30 min i had 18 rabbits laying in 3 piles 50ft from me. I would whack one then another would hop out of the trees to see what happened the whack and so on. After 30 min my dad walked out to see what i was shooting at. He asked me if I had piled the up hhe couldnt belive it when i told him thats where i shot them 3 neat 2foot diameter piles. It was a good day for me bad for rabbits
