Here is a head shot gone wrong and since this was a shotgun state it was relatively short range,, nostril shot off and destroyed everything above the upper palate which allowed him to eat. He was shot at least a year or more ago since he was fully healed and you can see his skull exposed and the skin fused to it. And believe it or not he was attempting to breed a doe. The hunter was my hunting buddy. We inspected him and he bore a nice set of antlers he was underweight for a deer of his age and to add to his misery his rear quarter was infected from a recent 22 lead bullet
