Deer are amazing(Possibly NSFsomeW) pics

I've never tried posting pics on here before, so hopefully I did it right. This is a younger buck I had on camera early last year. He was a good looking young buck that was hanging around a good bit. November 11, 2023 he showed up with the gash in his left front shoulder, and received the nickname "Zombie". All I can assume is that he was shot(poorly) on some neighboring property with a broadhead. I watched him all hunting season last year on camera, and it was cool to watch the stages of his recovery. He limped for a while and by the end of January, I wasn't sure he was going to make it. He was pretty run down and skinny, and seemed to be laboring a lot more on videos. Thinking back now, I believe that had more to do more with the end of his rut. He has shown back up on camera this year, and looks healthy as ever. Damn near a perfectly symmetrical 10 pt.
Anyone else have any better idea of what they think he may have been shot with?

He should be allowed to live and frick without ever being shot at again.

If you do happen to kill him, don’t think I would eat that meat. Tough SOB.

I don’t think a broadhead would damage that much tissue and remove that much skin and tissue.
I think it was grazing ahot at fairly close range ~2800-3000fps that skimmed the neck entered the edge of the scapula and “blew up”
Bad shot that someone blamed cartridge or bullet as the failure.
And yeah they are tough, I have personally seen on two separate occasions broadheads inside the body cavity completely wrapped with cartilage and the deer appeared healthy.

Looks like Tikka 6-5 Creedmore damage from here.

Yea. I've cleaned a deer and was cutting the backstrap out of him and the knife kept "clinking" on something. Ended up being a broadhead and about 1" of arrow shaft broke off up against his spine.

Could be a bullet, fella in club last year has video of him grazing a buck and it ripped open a hole like that. After bringing in 2 sets of dogs and no recovery I guess it survived.
If this woulda been his right shoulder instead of left I woulda though it was same deer.

Don’t know what did it but a broadhead definitely didn’t do that.

Some ol boy swore he “will never ever shoot faucking mechanicals again”
98% of the lost deer that live are bad shots 1% is bad bullets or broadheads and 1% are miracle deer that defied all odds and survived the odds.
I’m not counting the deer that a dog finds 75-100yd from point of impact that’s perfect bullet broadhead job and poor woodsmanship.

Any chance that's CWD? I've seen a couple cases back in Virginia and it looks more or less like that.

Jeepers! That's a helluva wound! I'm surprised he survived. He should be breeding stock only 
Posted on 8/15/24 at 6:56 am to IamLSU02
Damn, nasty wound. Infection alone should have killed him. That's crazy. Looks like a damn mountain lion got a hold of him.
Broad heads are nasty weapons.

Cmon man
Posted on 8/15/24 at 8:06 am to IamLSU02
Could've been a head on shot and the bullet lacerated rather than penetrated.

Definitely not CWD. He was on camera perfect one day, and the next day he looked like that. The camera I was capturing him on pretty regularly was only about 200 yds from my northernmost property line. After that, I have no idea if its pure coincidence or he did it on purpose, but the only other time I caught him on that same camera the rest of the year was the initial picture I got of him with that wound. He mainly hung around an area about 3/4 mile south of there the rest of the year.

You sure that wasn’t caused by a predator? Bear, puma, gator?

Got this on game camera a few years ago

That's an incredible wound to live from. Can't believe he didn't get an infection that killed him.
I'll never forget when I was 10 we went back to Illinois to gun hunt with my grandfather and his friends. My grandfather's best friend who was probably 65 or so at the time used a double barrel and I don't know if he had slugs or buckshot, I think slugs because I don't remember anyone that I knew using buckshot in Illinois. But he shot a small buck opening morning and we all helped look for it around 11am. Maybe 200 yards from his shot there was a barbwire fence that had some intestines hanging from it. We blood trailed that deer for a good half mile or more before losing it around a neighbors property.

No puma, bear(reported black bears, but I've never seen one), gator in the area. I had/have a bunch of other pictures, and you can pretty much see where something traveled through the side of the neck and came out at the shoulder.

Wild animals in general have an extremely high tolerance to pain and are extremely resistant to injury and infection. The wild, no matter what sort of wild it may be, is a high stress environment.
