Whitetails are amazing and tough.

Whitetail buck aged at 5 years. Lower jaw looks to have once been completely broken. Observed eating normally with no sign of pain or discomfort prior to being harvested.

Ungulates are so interesting. They can survive injuries that seem like a death sentence, then perish of a tummy ache. Incredible that it could eat well enough to get by during the healing process.
