Rob's Buck on Video (CLOSE UP VID PG 8)
(EDIT) Rob did not shoot this buck, he videoed the buck.
So we don't hijack rob's cool thread.
The shooter was no where near high enough(in his stand)to get into the body cavity. My guess is the arrow "skipped" right over it.
The exit holes is perfect height

RE: Rob's Buck on Video
No it does and here is why IMO
The diagram does not take fat issue Deer in the North have more Fat. In general and inch or two, sometimes a lot more.
Also heavier winter coats IMO.
Like I said, if I was 15 ft up in a tree and I put an arrow right where this shooter did, I'd throw my bow in the river. Now take that same shot placement 25ft up in a tree and we have a dead deer. There are others factors we do not know.
BH used
Arrow weight
KE
Momentum
Who knows

RE: Rob's Buck on Video
Show the screen capture of the deer facing straight away..........that really gives a better feel for the angle of entry and exit vs this picture.
I'd do it myself but I'm on dial up with Mickey Mouse computer skills.

OK Matt.....then show the one where he's got his head turned to the left (facing away) and he's grazing.
That wound is nearly a foot down that buck's side.
I'm not saying Rob "should" have.....but if I look at that wound, here....I'm taking that buck. I feel in my heart and head it's gonna die.

Man, it is hard to imagine it didn't at least nick the intestines. Obviously it is still alive, but could definitely succumb to infection. Who knows. Pretty neat to get it on film.
