Deer no mans land refresher and story
First of it does not exist, at least not where most think..
you can not shoot a deer high but below the spine and not clip the top of the lungs..
You can however shoot a deer high in the front half and go over the spine and get nothing but backstraps and a little blood..
A buddy of mine in KY did this during archery season, the deer lived and he ended up killing it during the M/L season a month or so later..
Here is a pic showing the curvature of the spine most hunters don't even know it does..
The blue line is the spine the two dots show where he shot the deer..
