Amen Howler, but I'll go one step more, if you shoot a broadhead ONCE, it's done unless you touch it up or change the blades. One shot and done no matter what, touch them up or change the blade, there is no excuses.
That's really a pet peeve of mine!!
If the Broadhead has been shot, Sharpen it, or Replace the Blades!! Period!!
Don't be a Lazy tightwad
Shot placement, sharp blades, big holes, all play a part in a great Blood trail. I prefer multi blade heads for more cutting and a hole versus a slit of a 2 blade. Probably makes little difference on Deer but some animals are more prone to plug cuts and a big hole is harder to plug than a slit.

That cannot be said enough!
I know too many guys that will stick an arrow back in the quiver after running it under the hose wheny they've shot it. Inexcusable.
Sharp blades make your big holes, but as was stated earlier some designs will lend themselves to bigger holes. Designs that push the skin in and stretch it before the blades cut will leave some gaping wounds. I believe the Slick Tricks do this as some of the holes I've seen them make are bigger than the blade diameter. The Rages do the same as do the Snypers. So, if you want a large hole make sure you do your homework on how sharp the blades are and how they will cut. If they are scalpel sharp and push then cut you will likely find yourself following some sopping wet blood trails.
