My archery buck had a large "crater" on his ribcage. No wound in the hide was visible, no bullets or shot were there. Just the odd looking indentation. It was from an injury of some sort, maybe even a puncture from another buck's antlers.

I've found razorblades from broadheads inBOTH shoulderblades of a six point buck. That deer had a very fresh bullet hole on his neck, it just barely nipped him. I even heard the shot about ten minutes before I saw the deer coming my way.

My brother's deer from this year had multiple wounds, all healed and from previous years.

Never seen any birdshot.
