Thanks MUP. I talked to a guy on our lease last night that lives in Nashville, he thinks it's the one he missed opening week of gun.

I have killed several over the years that had broken arrow shafts in them. One shaft was inside the backstrap and was about 7" long! Another shaft with a satellite broadhead on it (over 30 years ago) was embedded in the brisket area and had about 4" of shaft attached to it on another buck I killed. Tough critters for sure.

That's great to know the history of him! Cool!

That picture is above the spine or right on it but didn't break bone. Lungs press right up against spine. Right there where that arrow is sticking, the spine drops way down below top of shoulders, and chest cavity/ribcage narrow to a point around the esophagus.

Below is a pic that shows it well. There's really no such thing as a "no man zone". Deer simply just refuse to die sometimes even with a great shot.

I shot this buck this morning. As he came through I noticed he wasn't really "limping" but was "hunkered" up and moving very slow and gingerly. When I got to him I noticed an old gun shot would that had entered about 6 inches behind the shoulder and just under the back bone. While skinning him I noticed puss around the entrance wound and the exit wound directly across from the entry. I guess it was just a clean pass through. Not sure what was causing the "hunkered" up and slow moving? Maybe nerve damage?

These animals are amazingly tough critters! Either way, glad he's out of his misery and will be feeding the rehab men.

Great deer, you probably did him a favor!

Like most of us I suppose, I credit my good fortune in losing very few deer over the years to two things and it's not enough practice time at the range. Most of us could shoot a lot more but I credit choosing my shots and using more than enough gun for helping me in finding my deer. Congratulations! That's a good buck.
