As stated a field tip would have killed this deer. I shot a doe many, many years ago when Grim Reapers were still new to the market. Drilled her broad side at 25 yards. She made it less than 40 yards before piling up within sight. Upon inspection of the entry and exit hole it looked like I had shot her with a field tip. Just a 30cal. sized hole through and through. At first I assumed that the blades failed to open but when I recovered the arrow I noticed there were no blades. I did recover a blade where it had impacted as well as half if the collar that held them in place. I determined that the broadheads failure was more then likely due to operator error but it happened.
Personally, I think deer are just starting to evolve. They are just more resilient to being shot. We're just going to have to start using 10in cut broadheads or guillotines that lop their heads off like turkeys. RPGs are always another option...
Seriously, sometimes shot are just hard to explain.
