Axis being the exception lol. I’ve lost a big buck and my dad lost a management buck this way. I know I pulled my shot a couple inches back. Shoulda still killed him but they are crazy tough. Dads I’m still not sure what happened. He folded. Kicked. Watched the life drain out of him. Got over there and no deer. Looked for hours.
I’ve had the same dang thing happen with a big one in velvet. Two guys were watching through binos and we all had no doubt he was dead within 20 yards. Never found him. He was a stud free range axis, still makes me sick to think about it.
