I'm thinking I didn't see the same video clip we're talking about maybe.......But the one I saw was a young kid that shot a buck on a feeder, at close range. When they found the animal, it had CLEARLY been shot by a rifle......I've never in my life seen the side of a deer blown out like that from a bow shot.......never.
It's possible that after the shot(lacking penetration)the dad put some lead through the deer as it limped off. Afterall, the video did show a guy getting out of a treetop blind.
Then again, it's also possible that from thrashing about the deer could've done that to himself. Below is a pic of a buck that I hit high because the arrow hit a small branch on its way to the deer. It hit him just under the spine and from running and thrashing, this is what happened.
