You didn't happen to take pictures of the entrance and exit wounds, did you?
Even if they didn't open up (not sure how they couldn't) they still cut at least a 3/4" which is only a 1/4" smaller than some fixed. The reason I say this is fixed guys will say if you hit them right with their 1" fixed a deer will go down quick but on your 2 occasions, 3/4" on almost perfect hits with complete passthroughs, the deer went over 1/4 mile and were still alive when you find them? Seems a little strange, don't you think?
How does a 1" diameter head put them down quick and dead and a non opening Rage that still cuts 3/4" not kill them?
Not trying to start an argument just trying to understand.
