Not sure if yall have seen this. Its going around the internet in the last few days.
To sum up what happened:
Tbone shoots a monster 11 point out of a ground blind. It appears he puts a perfect shot on the deer. If you look at it, it looks like its right thru the heart.
A couple hours later, the same deer walks in front of Waddell dripping blood and acting like its not even hurt. He shoots the deer and kills it. Where Tbone originally shot it, and Waddell shot it is over 2000 yards apart
Lots of debate over whether the shot was too far back, too low, BH failed...etc.
Here's the video. the sound is horrible, but you can see the shots good

i had a deer vanish in oklahoma that i shot exactly like that(kicked his feet up and everything) found bloody arrow 30 yards away, no blood trail not a drop. i came to the conclusion that my rage expandible broad head had failed to open properly. heres why , i was using an older cable bow and dident do the research about expandibles, youre not supposed to use them with older cable bows(not enough KE) plus i was using carbon arrows.so what did i do? well i did what every self respecting hunter would do, i went and bought another newer bow.and got some muzzy fixed blades(one less thing to go wrong) but in this guys case he dont have that excuse the shot looked perfect to me and the bow was new........
I'd guess 1st shot B.H. failure, if it had gotten 1 or both lungs it would never of made it to Waddel and there would have been a lot more blood. gutting/skinning should tell the story.
good that it was shot again and finished off and for the BH's they would be in the trash

And nacho's right, too. An 'autopsy' will tell for sure.
