man, let me tell u. if u are shooting 65lbs+, that aftershock would have cut that deer in half. that is no joke. i visited the web site and there is a hog that was shot with one. major damage. a deer could not take that. do not forget, the bones of an animal are not as hard as u think when they are surrounded by blood and flesh. the ribs would get busted up. try the head on a doe and take a look at the damage. good luck.
