[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5810853, member: 20583"] When field dressing it's normal practice to cut through the hide to expose the stomach & guts without puncturing them. The stomach liner is actually pretty thick & tough & pliable. My guess is that the head's point and/or blades were dull, which not only significantly inhibited penetration but also allowed the arrow to push into the stomach without actually poking through into it. Unfortunately it would eventually abrade its way through little by little like being sawed by a butter knife with every move the buck made, and when it did the deer would succumb to sepsis within hours. Or perhaps the arrow brushed against something and forced the cut. Either way the head eventually punctured stomach and killed the deer. If the arrow came out without that happening then yeah the deer probably would survive, but I don't see that being a likely scenario. [/QUOTE]
