I got a doe three years ago that also had a few inches of arrow and an intact broadhead just below her eye. The area I was hunting was a bow-only state park in Pennsylvania. I never guessed someone took the shot intentionally... I would hope that it was a mistake or that it hit a branch to deflect or something! The doe functioned perfectly fine, and I think the wound was at least a year old. I believe she was blind in one eye (maybe that's why I was actually able to succeed in taking her! :-) ) because the eye was a milky white color.
