I know that this so-called "myth" has been debated by hunters for years...
"Now to the nitty-gritty of the question -- 'Whether a deer can survive being hit above the lungs but below the spine?' --- Depending on whether a deer lungs are inflated (breath in) or deflated (big exhale), there may be room for an arrow to pass and not cause a fatal wound."
