Maybe he doesn't know that a deer will crouch down before running and can often do it before a arrow arrives.
What to do?

I shot a doe last year with my BP rifle in exactly the same spot. The bullet missed the lungs and just clipped the liver. She acted as if she wasn't even touched but left a short lived blood trail. Long story short. She was shot at
9:30 AM and found her at 3:30 PM. had to get a friend from town to help me out as well.

I have a question:
What kind of broadhead is he using, and are they sharp. Where I used to live on the coast there is an archery draw season for elk and there has been a huge number of animals lost that have been shot with crossbows.
Now I do not want anyone to take the next statement wrong, but I have found that quite a few people who shoot crossbows do not really understand how a broadhead works. One fellow I know started hunting with one after a neck injury wouldn't allow him to hunt with his Weatherby mag collection anymore. One day he tells me he is not going to hunt with the crossbow anymore because he shot a small buck on the road (logging) and it did not drop on the spot but ran about 50 yards down hill.
I tried to explain that EVERY animal that is hit well with an arrow will run 50 yards or so. That is a perfect shot if made with a sharp BH.
I have run into a number of these guys and they are often shooting borrowed equipment and using broadheads they have been shooting into hay bales or foam targets
Check his broadheads, cause even a marginal shot like the one he made should kill that doe in fairly short order.
Just a thought.
