deer with arrow in it?
 
Is this a buck with a arrow in its right side. Do you think he will live if it is a arrow?

I'm afraid a mortal infection is going to set in!:)

Not sure he will survive, but take a look on the Cuddeback website in the photo gallery. There is a buck with an arrow through his snout.

Ask him next time you see him what he was shooting for that far back.

already looks like he's starting to blowt infection will take over depending on the food the weather and alot of diffrent facters. Two years ago a shoot a pretty nice eight took it to the butcher had it in my freezeer for about a month the misses took a roast out she cooked it when i started to cut it i hit something it was a broadhead took to my local archery dealer he told me that broadhead was about 5 to 7 years old. (single blade with a middle blade in it)

I bet he will make it. I have seen 2 deer in the area I hunt with arrows early in the season. I have trail cam pictures showing wounds that healed up pretty good and I have seen the deer while on stand. They are still going 4 months later. They are tough and can survive if it doesn't get infected too bad.

russ4411, Do you know where that pic is on the site? I can't find it. Could you just post it in this post if you have it?

THANKS

From that angle, it's hard to tell where the actual entry point is. My best estimate is that it's in the shoulder and has either been bent back along the body or it was shot into the shoulde on a hard quartering away angle. Based on what you said, I would say that the deer will likely live. If infection were going to kill it, it would likely be dead bynow. deer are very resilient when it comes to fighting infection and since it's been two weeks, it's obvious that any vital organs have been spared.

Arrow wounds tend to bleed profusely at first due to the sharpness of the broadheadand that tends to flush out the wound.More often than not, deer recover from arrow wounds that dont enter the vitals unless the digestive tract is involved. Any wound in the stomach or intestines is very likely to result in death eventually.

Well put.

I would mtend to agree, however, with that much of the arrow still protruding and whacking every obstacle it comes in contact, I'm afraid the broadhead will continue to do fatal damage, eventually

He may make it,I shot a buck a few years ago that had a broadhead and part of an arrow stuck in the backstrap just above the lungs and it was healed over.It must have happened the previous year.

i'm a part time butcher during hunting season and i've seen arrows in deer that been there for years . and before taking off the hide you would never know

he will most likely die of infection unless he was shot that day or the day before and it was a gut shot and he will die quicker
