Killed a wounded buck today

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.

This picture was taken by a friend of mine several years ago at a feeder near his house. He doesn't hunt but keeps a feeder out to watch the deer. Doesn't seem to be bothering the deer but it's sad for the deer. Jury's still out on the no man's zone. Read several articles about it. No one really seems to know.

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 wound 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.
