Here's another pic of the Snuffer 160 cleaned up.  Now in fairness to this Snuffer, first off, I should have hit further back.  Second, it hit right at the shoulder joint, destroying the joint and sliding inside, totally shredding the inside of the shoulder.  I'd say Shawn is right.  Had it been on a wood shaft, the shaft probably would have broke right at the taper and I highly doubt enough energy would have been there to crush that head, push through, and get into the lung.
 
 

Here's the entrance.

 

Massive damage on the inside.

 


To top it all off, his right hind quarter was healing up from what was probably the result of being hit by a car sometime ago.  Now that's tough!

This is just a guess, but maybe the snuffer got lodged in the shoulder joint and was twisted by the scapula and the humerus as the deer made the dash after it was hit.Just maybe. That is one unlucky deer but tough deer there,with all the injuries and all in its short life.Congrats n getting it though!!

Anything's possible.  Heck the shaft might have got jammed up hard off a tree as he ran and caused that damage to the head.  No way of knowing for sure.  Those Heritage shafts are bomb proof!

Grizzly, when you absolutely positively have to shoot clear through...

Good Hunting! Way to make a long one lung tracking job short by using woodsmanship and following your instincts on the quick follow up.

Good old fashioned draw weight got that deer, and the decision to follow instincts. We all have a little hound dog in us.  :thumbsup:  

After impact, there was enough push to get the head into soft stuff(lung). In my opinion, a wood shaft would have left that buck carrying more iron.

Thats good bowhunting right there...it ain`t over until your trimming meat!

Two weeks, and two tags. The holidays are over, but still time to celebrate!

Good hunting!

Just for the sake of asking.....if those two arrows were shot in reverse order, do you think (in your opinion,cause we'll never really know)anything would have been different?
