It didn't appear to. I dropped the deer off whole for my son at midnight so I never really had a good look. She didn't go far. Ran 15 yards maybe. She was heavy enough to make me grunt getting her...

Did the 325 yard chest shot exit Tahr? Looks like a yearling maybe, not very big? Well done on the neck shot, very tidy! Pays not to be a deer when Tahr is about with a rifle
