Default RE: most shots taken to kill a deer?

I've taken up to 3 shots at a deer. I spoted a half-rack buck in a group of 12 doe and when it gave me an opportunity broadside at 60 yds, i shot. None of the deer ran, they all just looked down towards me, including the buck. I thought I missed, so i shot again. This time all the deer ran back where they had come from except for the buck, which was now stumbling down the hill. He toppled over and began thrashing around, so I aimed rightabove the spine and shot one last time. He was down for good. When I went up and took a look, my first and second shots were perfect heart/lung shots that were only about 2" apart, leaving a whole the size of a baseball in his side. Only one of them exited. The third shot hit right where i aimed.
