Yes that was informative! Looks like that magical spot guys hit. they say below the spine and above the vitals, the spot where numerous guys hit each season but fail to recover the deer, very interesting!!

Congratulations Whip, a fine effort and a fine deer.  I think Missouri Sherpa nailled it pretty well but I will add that arteries in the spinal canal do not have a muscle coat that aids in the clotting process by constricting of the artery.  Even a small cut there could result in hematomyleia which is hemorrhage in the spinal canal which over a short time can lead to paralysis and eventually shuts down respiration leading to death.  Looks like could have happened from your pics.

Very nice.  Thanks for that info.  I would never have believed that the shot would have killed the deer by what you showed.  The spinal cord explanation does sound plausible.  Glad you stayed with the hunt and had a story to tell us.  I'll remember it.

Joe wonderful job of showing persistence and real hunting skills.  This is a great lesson, and example, for all!

I smiled when I read your "disclaimer" about praying concerning a "little" matter.  I'm so thankful to know that to an all-powerful God, EVERY problem is a small one!!!  :saywhat:  

Congratulations on a job WELL done... and on your answered prayer!   :thumbsup:

No worries on the WW Whip....I was in camp 2 weeks ago when this guy shoulder bladed a buck with a 2 blade...and he was shooting a relatively heavy bow/arrow set up.  

Last weekend that same buck was seen chasing a doe.

Nice buck too sir....very nice buck!!!  :thumbsup:

WOW ! I can't believe the whitetails you guys have access to ! Congrats on the story and the deer. Bring everything to the Lord in prayer , nothing is too small . I think I know what you meant though as I feel guilty praying for myself when I feel I should be spending my prayer time for others who really need them . I hope Tom gets a good one next week . Should be a hoot , Fred
