Spine Shattering

"My mule deer was ranged at 40, but then spooked to 50 when I drew. Without time to range the buck again, I assumed he was at 55. The first shot hit high completely shattering the spine and dropping him. I fired a second arrow through both front scapula and found it embedded in a dirt bank directly behind the buck. The first arrow was found well beyond the buck after shattering his spine. Died where he stood initially." - Guide Neil Emick using a Maasai 200 grain broadhead.
