Thread: Something interesting re temporary cavity

I butchered the stag I shot this morning and had a good look at what damage was done.
Tha bullet entered low in the neck and ended up on the outside of the right shoulder.
Firstly, blood and bruising on the outside of the right shoulder. The exterior of the muscle was intact and the skin was undamaged.

The right shoulder bone was smashed to bits.

The inside of the rib cage showed two small contusions on the right hand side under the shoulder but as far as I can see there is no physical damage to the spine.
I did not find any part of the projectile.

BTW, the deer dropped on the spot while it's bigger mate ran off. As it lay there, 100 yards away, I could see it trying in vein to regain it's feet so I shot it in the head.
