Mez, what was entrance wound? Were there blade marks or no? I've heard of jack knife style heads swinging closed when stopped abruptly (like when hitting bone). I wonder if this may be what happened on that shot. If not, that is amazing that those blades could stay closed even passing into bone.
Just a hole, the thing never opened. No blade tracks at all. I'm not sure how the thing couldn't have opened but it never did.
Wow, that is amazing. There must have been something seriously wrong with that head to go through heavy tissue and then bone and not open. It just goes to show how important it is to inspect all of your equipment before taking it into the field. Fortunately you guys got that animal.
Thanks for the info. Definitely food for thought.
