Headshot error

[Grizzly Johnson]

I know this has been discussed before many times, along with other things like wound survival.

I came across a thread on FB the other day, of a buck killed that had survived a poor headshot or a shot that went awry. There were other photos but these two summarize them all…. Things these animals can survive with.

People are stupid

That had to be pretty rough. Glad someone put that deer down.

Bad shots happen with gun or bow. Might have glanced a twig but I doubt someone was attempting a head shot with a bow….

Glad the animal isn't suffering anymore…

If done on purpose it's little pecker syndrome.

Id wager it was done on purpose. Sad sad sad

I saw that on FB too. Amazing it survived and if shot there on purpose somebody needs to have the crap beat out of them.

I shot an arrow at a broadside buck once and he dropped in his tracks and flopped all over the place. When I got to him, the arrow had hit him in the base of the skull from behind. He was DRT. I was aiming at his chest. All I could figure is that either he dropped and turned to get away before the arrow arrived, I made a bad shot, or the combination of the two. Point being, it can happen by pure accident. Throw a nice set of antlers into the mix and it increases the possibility of something going wrong. I hope that was the case here.
