This photo from one of the trail cameras mystifies me.

If you look carefully in the shadow cast-upon this whitetail you will see a divot directly behind the right shoulder.  It is a wee bit high; nevertheless, in the location where an archer would target an arrow. Same for a bullet.

By all outward appearances this deer is very much alive and healthy.  The divot (presumed scar) doesn't appear to be festering, infected or weeping.  It just looks like a healed scar.

I wonder what the backstory is about this?

Or am I imagining things?
