These things happen. The good part is, they seem to manage pain pretty good. Here is a link to a trail cam video of buck with his hide missing. You can see his scapula and muscles in plain site and he didn't look stressed at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBm4AI9JhNM
My first bow kill I ever made was doe walking down a trail that went right in front of my stand. I shot her at about 15 yards. She never skipped a beat, kept walking like nothing ever happened. I thought I missed her, so I frantically tried to knock another arrow but she just kept walking down the trail. Even stopped for a second and looked bad over her right shoulder before proceeding down the trail. When I got down and found the arrow, it was full of blood. I walked to the last spot I saw her and there she laid, another 30 yards down the trail, laying like she fell over dead while walking. She didn't go 60 yards....
