The funny thing is, the deer did a back flip and landed on her back when I shot her. When she got up, she fell one more time before running off, so I know I hit her. What we think happened is that there was no exit, so it would take the time for the chest cavity to fill up before the deer would die. And, in case anybody is wondering, a deer can run a long time on adrenaline before expiring.

I will say this, it is good to know that there are plenty of experts running around the internet, who are also capable of telling people whether they are right or wrong, especially without ever meeting them... Man, psychologists really are a rip-off, they actually charge you money...
