I didnt believe it until this year. i thought pass thru equals dead deer, no matter what. the 9 pt. I shot as I walked up on him I noticed a puss bubble the size of a large grape on his upper left high shoulder/neck area. i initially thought it wasa fighting poke, made sense to me. after I field dressed I noticed a similair wound on the other side. three of us were looking and all at the same time said the same thing. this deer has been arrowed and lived. there is no other explanation. both sides had fully healed, just a little puss bubble that came off dragging him out and that was it. I told the butcher to watch for an arrow but he said he didnt find one.
