re: OB's thought on what happened this morning.

My 12yo son killed a doe at about 199 yds yesterday. I will tell him to never do that again because dnm3305 from the internet says it's unethical

Obviously you lack reading comprehension as well.

I bet she's practicing her 200 yard shots.

For Jack Daniel,
I may have missed the answer as it may have been buried in the 4-5 pg long OT imitation, but I'm still curious as to the scope picture at the time of the shot.

It's good to analyze the circumstances after the shot (presence and what type of hair, how the deer reacted and such), but in my experience you're more likely to find the answer to what happened by analyzing the shot itself. You, and only you, know the circumstances of the shot: where were the crosshairs, how fast was the deer moving, how steady was the rest, did the crosshairs make a bad movement at the last second, etc.). If you hit the buck in the chest w/ a 185 gr 300 WSM bullet you should have a dead deer inside of 100 yards and a noticeable blood trail after 20-30 yards max.If you hit the deer in the paunch, you'll prob have little, if any, trail to follow, but you should still have a dead deer, but it may be many hundred yards down the trail. Clear your mind and reflect on the shot for a few moments and I bet you'll find your answer.
