IMO that pic shows what I mentioned and others talked about. I think that arrow is above the spine and in the back straps of that deer. The anatomy pics and the one butcher cutting pic show how low the spine is, and to me it looks like that deer is shot above the spine. I think I tried to explain it, but I do not think there is a dead zone in a deers lungs,
There is no dead zone in the lungs but there is in the rib cage. I have witnessed two deer with holes on each side of the rib cage where arrows passed thru over the lungs and below the spine
I processed deer for 20 years so I knowthe anatomy of a deer.
