A mate dropped a whitetail but had to finish it off with his knife.

Couldn’t find any bullet hole but on skinning it we found a piece of lead the size of a slug gun pellet had gone downwards between two vertebrae just forward of the shoulder-blades.
On reconstructing his shot it turns out when he fired his 243 the bullet snicked the underneath of a fallen tree that was above and nearer to him (he was looking through a very wet scope on a very wet day) and the bullet disintegrated with a fragment going downwards into the deer.
