Hit the deer right behind the shoulder.
With this shot placement it is more common than you think. Yes, a shot behind the shoulder is certainly a deadly shot. But they will run, some farther than others. And they don't always bleed regardless of the bullet used. The barnes bullet did its job. I shot a big doe with my 7mm08 at about the same distance. I knew the shot was good. Just behind the shoulder. No blood found where she stood. I followed in the direction she went. I didn't find a drop of blood until I went 50 or 60 yds. and then it was only a drop or two every 10 yds or so. She went about 100 yds. The only shot I take behind the shoulder now is with a bow. Put it on the point of the shoulder or high shoulder and they will drop where they stand.
