Great story BJ! I have seen this first hand as well. Years ago I shot one through and through with my wheel bow on opening day,  back then it was October 1st.  Never did find it even after 3 days off looking,  he was a huge 8 point.  Later that same year on Christmas eve I had a huge buck come into the same stand right at last light.  I ended up spine shooting him and had to shoot him a second time.  When I got him home I noticed a scar on his side,  there was a matching one on the other.  There was a crooked rib as well.  From what I could tell I shot him too high and right over his lungs on opening day.  They are for sure some of the toughest animals on the planet.
