Human and game analog

Not really off topic, but I didn't know where else to put this.

I have used the unflavored gelatin mix, scrap lumber, and wet newspaper and catalogs.
What else makes a good living target analog to shoot?

the wet newpaper and catalogs are the cheapest, but I feel its too solid compared to light skinned animals to be an accurate representation?

unflavored gelatin is pretty close to ballistic gel and much cheaper.

Neighbors cattle?

JK.

Haven't gotten as elaborate with targets as you're trying, but plastic milk and or juice jugs make fun water bombs when you fill them up and put the cap on. More dramatic with a rifle over a pistol.

There are plenty of cattle around, but I would really like to examine the wound afterwards and that might get me busted.

The wool contains the explosion too much to be entertaining, though after the fact they do look like a big, red, scary... nevermind
