Strange wound ???

Need some help. In the picture below you will see what is some type of wound. The doe I shot a few weeks ago and lost looks alot like this deer. In other photos I have there are other deer in the photo and you can see the size difference. She is a much older and mature doe. This is the side I shot her on. I just don't believe a deer could survive a shot in this location even though it is alittle back. She was quartering away. There was a small bush in the view of the camera during the shot so we can not see exact penetration. I shoot a 2 blade rage. If there is any possibilty this is the deer I shot I would have to say the blades did not open. Let me know what you all think. Maybe it is some sort of parasite?

I agree with you snivs it looks like a wound to me. With the hair missing and it looks to be a whole in the center of it. It just shows how tough deer can be.

YEP snivs thats a SHOT deer right there,must have not hit anything,hard to beleive it didn't at least clip the liver.

Looks like a shot to me, but if she was quartering away hard that should be a dead deer. Hard to believe.

It that's the entry wound of the deer you shot quartering away I find it hard to believe it wouldn't have hit any vitals. She's there for prime time, ground check her.

X2. Even if the Rage didnt open you should have got 3/4 of inch cut. Anythings possible though.

This is a friend's deer that he shot the week before, with a Rage! Chit happens!!

Some tough deer there.

Yes that is the entry wound. She wasn't quartering away hard but she was quatering. I can't beleive it either. ????

It looks like the broadhead did not open. Did you find the arrow? Could you tell how much penetration you got? Also could it have gone in and hit a rib?

Pass through with hardly any blood.

Sure does look like a shot deer to me. If the angle was right then it's possible that no vitals were hit

Yea, it's been shot, if she was quartering toward you and the rage didn't open....she might be fine. Maybe you will get another chance at her this year.

pretty interesting topic here....looks like a shot wound to me...

Im guessing the shot hit 4-6 inches behind the yellow dot on the picture. That would probably be a partical liver hit or stomach hit.
