I shot a 9 pt. years ago that had a healed over .22 wound to one of its backstraps! There was an old poacher known to the area that used a .22 Hornet, so I think this was one of his bullets!

i forgot my first deer my dad's friend said might have been hit by a car or something because his left side of his horn was broken in to a "v" shape
and of course the othe side barely had 2 little nubs making it legal.

i shot a deer that was shot an hour earlier with only a broken leg.... she went into heat and had a buck on her so she wasnt goin to bleed out any time soon and if she got pregnat and a youte got her it would be bad. so i took her out of the enviorment

the spike i shot this year during rifle season had a slice just above the spine mostly likely from and arrow because it was at a downward angle.

My second largest deer I took had been shot in the hind quarter.

my dad who is a taxidermist had someone bring in a deer that had a wound right behind the right antler, after skinning the buck out he found a broadhead embedded in its skull which must have been from the year before because the wound had completely healed other than just a little hole that was letting the puss out.

I once shot a little spike buck that my uncle had shot in the leg earlier that day. My dad also killed a 12 pt. that had a Muzzy lodged in its back right by the spine.

kinda fishy....but a found most of a copper jacket ina package of my steaks from a deer i shot! dont know why in the world it wasnt removed...and surely wasnt mine.....i double lunged it witha HPBTsierra and blew right through it.....kinda fishy..it was from a GOOD commercial grade processor that is actually a meat factory....

this year our sitters pushed a LARGE 12pt to a lucky guy in the middle of our drive....we happened to know him....when the buck was dead everyone was starring at the rack like normal....someone noticed the buck must have been broadside....someone shot at him and hit both his mainbeams!! just a perfect half circle bullet graze on both sides!! pretty neat.....barely visible...wierd thing is it was the first day and NOONE else was back there to be shooting at him!! night hunters maybe??? did look to be a small caliber rifle....id think any 30cal would blew the other side to bits after hitting the first...but who knows

i shot a 7 pointer three years ago that had an arrow shaft in its head. it went in under the eyeball and came out near the back of the head. he managed to break off both ends that were sticking out so i didnt notice it until i approached him. you could see straight through his head/neck area by looking through the hollow arrow shaft. just a little gang green up there but the rest of the body was fine.

my cousin killed the nicest buck that was roaming our farm at the time. the butcher later found a broadhead that had been completely healed around. it was very close to the lungs and he had no idea how the deer survived it. it was from a previous hunting season and was completely healed up
