And I disagree; I've seen a pass thrus on deer where the OP hit and the deer survived. You have to do fatal damage when you're arrow goes through. This wasn't a matter of penetration.

The deers spine is behind that scar. Unless its leg was all the way forward on the shot, part of the scapula was also behind that scar but it's a very thin portion of scapula. If the op had broken the spine the deer would go down, the op would probably have to shoot it again (possibly would have cut the artery under the spine) but either way it would end up being fatal. This was all about the (lack of) penetration.
If you've seen non fatal pass throughs in that general area they were either over the spine or they were fatal and you failed to track it far enough.
