What am I looking at here? A left shoulder?

This was close range 20 yards on flat ground but as for the angle made it 40 yards I was shocked myself, I think it would have been different if it had been in the ribs, I'm not joking I have never seen an exit hole on a deer like the one this had wish I had taken a pic of it.

It looks more like it got hit by a 1976 Buick.

Well, I had almost this same exact thing happen with my 44 magnum last year on a mule deer fork horn. I was shooting the 225ftx from a four inch barrel. Shot him quartering away, almost took off the shoulder and you could put a softball in the exit hole, golf ball in the entrance wound. Distance was about 10 yards.
Probably had(has) more to do with the bullet than the caliber.?

It's hard to tell without a wide shot.

if it struck the shoulder blade the shock of the round alone could blow the flesh open. I have seen that kind of damage out of 45 cal rounds before if they strike hard bone close to the surface.

Drew first blood with the .450 this weekend. Two does, both at 80 yards. Was disappointed that neither was a bang flop. Both went about 60 yrds with a little high double lungers behind the shoulder. Exit holes were about silver dollar size. Easy, stand up blood trails on both.

Now, that's a rare occurrence..
