                why isnt he dead?

                Where is the hole on the other side? Possibly only got the top of one lung. If he was broadside, I have no idea. I have killed a lot of animals with shots close to that. The blood trails suck, but they die just as fast.

                Still high, but if you clipped lungs, he should be dead. Especially with a wide BH like a ramcat

                      How do you know you got a complete pass through? Not doubting you, just curious.

                        Skinny as that dude is, looks like he is on his way.

                            Shot above the spine in the backstrap...and even higher than the green line in this cross-section.

                            Basically he got a piercing with jewelry...

                              To me it appears to be a tine from another buck
                              It is too high and probably not deep enough to hit anything.
                              Edit: when i first opened the thread i did not see what you wrote, just the pic.
                              If you shot this buck and got a passthrough im going to guess thats a rib sticking out.
                              If you were hunting from ground level then you didnt kill him because you hit him to high.
