This was my 3rd season gun hunting,and managed to shoot my 1st buck($.50 cent piece) with one side of rack broke off . I'm shooting a Savage 30.06 w/165gr hornady sst's. My shot was a 125 yrds, deer fell over upon impact. So I get up to my deer and am dumbfounded to find no blood at all,or any entrance wound...?After making for sure deer is dead,rolled him over and to much surprise a few "specks" of blood and had to search hard to find exit wound....I haven't been hunting very long at all but just wondering if anyone else has witnessed anything like this at all?

Dead deer,no blood...?

My daughter shot a nice buck a number of years ago ( coincidentally it only had a half a rack also) and I never found an entrance or an exit hole either. Don't remember all the details if there was any internal bleeding or not. Had to razz her and ask, what she did to scare it to death.
OSOK-
Any chance she missed the vitals and the bullet went in the deer’s ear???
