I was just going through my fall pics and I totally forgot about the injury that was on the buck I took earlier in the season.
I watched the buck come through the hardwoods and could see this injury on his right side back just before the hindquarters.
I thought it might be a bad hit from another hunter and warned the butcher that there might be a broad head inside the animal. When I picked up my meat he said that the injury was approx. 1 1/2 into the muscle and there were not any BH's in the animal.
I'm not too sure what it was. The wound was about the size of a silver dollar.

Trigger tecs,leupold crossbones and nikon bolts.
Zombie slayers and mostly swat broadheads.
Wound depth 1.5" not likely and the tearing.... something went in one way and ripped its way out. not many things can do that and not leave pieces behind. another possibility is the deer while running partially impaled itself on some metal and pulled itself free. a broadhead would go much deeper and that appears to be about the spine. that broadhead would be going so slow that 99% of it's power was lost prior to hitting the deer to make so shallow a wound.

I've seen a buck when a fight breaks,(when one of them turns to run)
try to gore the hind quarter of the other.
Some bucks show long scars there too.
If you watch long fights on video watch for the break apart at the end and now and then you'll see that last attempt to get a hit on the buck trying to break away from the fight.
Could have gotten thrown down on a sharp object wrestling too.

S5s,cheek piece,firebolts, Original Rocket Steel heads.
Bushnell yardage pro on Excalibur mount.
That is an arrow, three blade entry (Seen something similar a few years ago). More than likely some idiot with a low powered bow either took waaaay tooo long of a shot or arrow deflected off something and didn't have any ke left when it hit the deer.
Deer probably knocked/pulled it out rubbing against a tree.
