Default Arrow not passing through?

Can someone maybe explain to me why my arrows aren't passing through? I am shooting a Mathews Outback set at approximately 64 pounds, 28" draw, and shooting 125 grain slick trick broadheads. The slick tricks are brand new in box. I used on head to practice shooting just to make sure the bow was in tune, and there is no change in flight between broadheads and practice tips. I believe that my bow is well tuned and is shooting acurately.

My first kill this fall was on a wild boar that weighed approximately 150 lbs and I shot him from 10 yards away and I put my arrow perfectly behind the front legs! Brand new, factory sharp, never used slick trick and there wasn't even an exit hole. A perfect shot from 10 yards and still no pass through, much less no exit hole? The pig did die fairly quick, but it struck me odd that the arrow didn't even go all the way through...

My second kill was on a smaller 6-point buck from twenty yards away. I do admit that on this particular shot, I did shot a little higher than what I was hoping for, but still the arrow didn't go through...same results as the pig.

Any thoughts? Is there something that I am doing wrong or just got un-lucky on not getting a pass through? I would have figured that at 10 yards...I would have definitely got a pass through. With no exit hole, tracking is a little harder...

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
