The first shot definitely would have killed him, but we were on a private lease and he was making his way down the hill towards the neighbors property. Didn't want him to get away so put another in him. Here's the front shoulder damage - this was the entrance.

And at 29 1/2 inches wide, I didn't want him to get away!

I know it sounds like sour grapes to be complaining about bullet performance on a dead deer, but I actually like to eat the things.
