talondale mentioned a link i posted LAST year...it was a link explaining deer anatomy, the "void", high hits....everything. good pics..lots of info. long...but detailed and good if you read it...

i read it last year trying to figure out where i hit a buck that was alert and started ducking to run when i shot. lesson learned...and learned the void does not exsist....just most hunters, including myself, think the vitals come up higher than they do...and think the back bone and spine sit right ontop of their backs...which isnt the case around the vital region...the backbone is huge and reaches pretty far down and is lower than alot of guys think.

alot of guys hit the backbone and swear it was a "between the lungs and spine hit"

heres the link for all interested...took me the last half hour searching for it....
