'Carrot the magic deer' unfazed by crossbow bolt through head

A lot of speculation.

Somebody put this deer down as he still looks delicious or tranq it and snip off the darn arrow.

Folks that made this thing tame is another discussion entirely.

These things are not pets.

We can try and make all the excuses in the world, he jumped the string, he turned his head, WHATEVER, You don't shoot at anything with a target or field point,

There is no deer in the world that would tempt me to take a shot with a field , ZERO,

hockeymjt-not challening You,but -do we have to put it out here, based on a murky video ,that there is someone shot this deer without a broad head?Antis are licking their mouth..........
I watched the video over and over, and second by second.
Recommend watching it at about 47 and 55 sec,where the entry side is the MOST visible.
Remember-broadheads are very very narrow in most cases(some are not -but hey,who knows what was shot)so to say there is no tiny line of 2 mm wide ,at about 1.5 " lenght in a hairy deer ,based on a murky video, is brave at best.

Before do so-after reviewing the 47 and 55,please help understand what that dark circle is around the arrow.At about broadhed DIA. Could it be hair and meat pushed up and roughed up by the impact?

I really have no vested interest in this story-but just like that ,to feed the Antis....hmmmm? we should know better.

Poacher is a poacher,but based on 60 sec of poor video, where some important areas are covered with those ugly Closed Captions.........
We should not be our own enemy.

They can easily fall off... especially as the deer moves around... I've had them get loose on me...
