Saw this 4yr old in person last week and noticed some skin hanging down and a bad limp. Seemed to be doing OK. Thought he might have had a rough fight and was just a little banged up as this was a new injury (seen several times over the course of the season and almost daily on camera). Finally got some good pics and it looks like a pretty clear brisket shot. Was a little surprised as this deer hung almost entirely on the interior of our property but all bucks can take a vacation and he got shot by a neighbor on his. Given he has still been active and can hop in and out of pens fine, do y’all think he is good? Doesn’t seem to be in a bad body shape outside of the shot. Would hate to see a deer with his potential go down before his time due to a careless shot. If so, hopefully he learned his lesson about vacations. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/12/full-69770-326283-4089fa6f_d45c_4b13_aa46_bd91db11559f.jpeg) (Before injury) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/12/full-69770-326284-73170ace_a45e_4380_b306_5fb74a9e9c18.jpeg)

Looks healthy to me, maybe he learned a valuable lesson. Or, maybe not, he's still going to feeders  .

Looks like a fence injury to me. Have seen several look just like that before and always healed up.

You never know but probably fine. I agree it may not be a bullet wound. Nice buck.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Looks like a fence injury to me. Have seen several look just like that before and always healed up. To me too. And if a bullet wound more like a brisket graze than true hit. Deer I shot in brisket from 200 yards with .243 made it about 30 yards.

Answers are reassuring. A fence makes more since given his range but it just seemed deep a channel to be from jumping a fence. I feel like that is a good 2” scoop. Either way agree he is in decent shape. Saw him again this evening and he didn’t seem to be struggling
