RE: Need Some Help on a hit Please.
I have no reason to argue, but your dot in the original picture is just behind the corner of the shoulder blade (as shown in my second picture. It is extremely common for people to believe that the spine sits much higher on the deer then it actually does, especially in this area. Many, many people believe they hit a "void" area when in fact they shot above the spine. The deer would have been dead if hit slightly quartered away as shown in your second picture with 10 inches of penetration. It may not bleed much though.
