Shot taken at excessive range, thus velocity too low when bullet finally got to the deer.
The hit was too far back, behind the diaphragm and only clipped the very edge of the far side lung as it ranged slightly forward.
Those guys did a bad thing.
Respect the game. Take sensible shots.
Bullet not to blame......hunter to blame.
???
Shot placement is well forward of the diaphragm.
