    They are amazingly tough critters. I hate you guys didn't find it for your little guy! It is a lesson though.

    He should have used a Rage broadleaf. Even with a high void area shot,..,it would have cut him in half.

    Saw something on the web a few days ago, I think on instagram, but I couldn't find it. Basically, a hunter shot a very big bodied buck during bow season and never found it. His neighbor killed it a few weeks later with a rifle. Said it had a broadhead hole through both lungs which weren't from his rifle bullet when he skinned it out. Wild animals are amazingly tough and have an incredible drive to survive. Hope you find him one way or another for the little man's sake. Hunting definitely teaches us life lessons you can't get any other way.

    There was an article years ago of a buck in Texas that was shot twice through the lungs and survived. I think they ended up killing it with a rifle. Big deer can do crazy things.

    One of the guys at our processor cleaned one friday evening that had 6" of arrow and a slick trick stuck in him. Pretty much right below the backstrap. Gangrene hadn't set in yet, so I'm not sure when it was shot.

    Yes they are, I’ve got one that we’ve had all year on camera that showed up last week with a big ass hole in his neck from my neighbor “missing” him.

    Been there done that. Only advise I can offer is to wait a solid 8 hours if you think you hit one there..but who wants to do that in SC in September.

    I can't for the life of me see how a deer can tote a shot like that.

    To play devils advocate, who is to say how that wound happened? That wound could have come from any source.

    I had a guest shoot a deer facing him at 80 yds. Said he smelled a rat and wouldn't turn. No sign of hitting the deer and he never saw it after the shot.

    Fast forward, two weeks later another guest killed him chasing does 1/2 mile away. There was a soft ball size hole in the side of his neck. No meat until you got close to the spine.
