RE: Deer injuries AFTER the shot

Let me try to explain better, you know how the shoulder is just laying next to the chest cavity "attached" by only some tendons and membranes. what I am suggesting is that a sharp frontal blow could push back on the shoulder stretching and/or tearing some of the ligaments in there, allowing the shoulder to move in ways it normally wouldn't. I wish I would have stayed around long enough to see it skinned out. My dad said the meat was pretty bruised and dark.
Maybe my dad failed to see a badly limping deer before he shot it, he says it was fine. All i know is when we found the deer, that shoulder was usless and the arrow didn't hit it there. One other possibility is that the shoulder bone may have been broke, and i just couldn't feel it rubbing inside. I'll have to talk to my dad again to make 100 % sure, but for then I couldn't feel the bone rubbing inside.
