I shot muzzy's about 30 years ago too. That angle along the ribs can cause some broadhead to skip along the ribs. I hit a 9 point whitetail at 68 yards at that angle. It was the first time I'd shot a slick trick 4 blade 100g and it penetrated clear through to the opposite shoulder. Buck ran about 30 yards and dropped.
Looks like he's got a fixed blade head on that arrow to me.. Doesn't look like it "bounced off" to me either. More like it deflected/skidded along the ribs and left a long gash. Back when I bow hunted I used mechanical heads with no issues. Was shooting a Browning Boss Mantis @ 30" and 70 lbs. and had pass throughs and quick kills with 125 gr. Rocket steelheads every time.
I made a shot almost identical to that on the biggest mule deer buck I'd ever loosed an arrow at, with the same results. A real monster I'd stalked to within 30 yards of. He trned and the arrow hit him exactly like that. Fixed blade head. Just too steep. I got within 10 yards of the same buck later in the day and he had a bloody spot on his side but was fine.

A "Booner"....that was the problem. He used the wrong weapon. Someone should have told him that "Booners" are only killed with firearms.
Incorrect.
I'll let you argue with the voices in your head about it, man, or you can go down to the local barbershop with a razor and split some hairs. Either way, I don't give a fuuck.
