A friend of mine sent me this trail cam pic of a deer that has either been shot or wounded while fighting. Pretty cool pic and a good example of how easy it can be to make a bad shot on a deer and not kill it![ftp][/ftp]

OUCH!
That sure does look triangle shaped like a broadhead..
If it was it should be a killing shot...maybe not easily recoverable, but a killer just the same..

It doesn't look like a kill shot, but it definitely looks like it hurts. Thats too bad. Seeing that really makes me want to become a better marksman, so it doesn't happen to me!
Take notice how he became nocturnal after taken a whoopin. I bet he doesn't spend much time out in the daylight the rest of the season. Not even for the ladies.

Agreed, if it is a bow shot the deer will die from that hit. Even looks like blood stains running down the side towards the leg. Could be just a mark from scrappin with another buck.

I think Duff is on the right track...
2 seasons back, last night of gun season, I was walking out of the woods with a hunting buddy, both of us skunked for the season, and got a call from a third buddy on the radio who was waiting for us at the house... we said we'd be up shortly and he indicated he'd walk around back and wait for us...
A few minutes later, he calls again saying he's found our buck... now that was interesting since neither of us had taken a shot... he'd found a nice 8 point laying freshly dead in the guy's back yard, with a nice hole in his ribs that at first looked like a gunshot... when we turned him over, no exit wound... got to looking closer and found some scrape marks in his hide parallel to the hole... we then concluded that this deer had been gored by a bigger buck...
We agreed on the finders-keepers rule, and my friend tagged it as his buck for the year... when he cleaned it, there was no indication at all of a gun wound... this buck had been gored to death for sure, and right lung punctured...
