Most of my bigger bucks had at least one previous wound. My 152" 5 year old had a .22 slug lodged under his right eye and a Broadhead stripe on his neck. I also shot a 129" 3 year old that had been hit by a shotgun slug low in the right front leg (no bone hit, just muscle and was healing well) Another 120" 2 year old with a drop tinehad a healed over superficial broadhead stripe that passed just under the skin above the spine.

All those were quite healthy and would have survived. The worst one was a 3 year old that had a broadhead and 6" of arrow shaft that entered the top of his nose and passed through his jaw and the head was protruding out under his chin in front of the white throat patch. The wound was only a day or soold (it was the third day of bow season) but he would have died a horrible death if I hadn't stopped him when I did.

Obviously some of my hunting areas see some pressure
