Sometimes they don't bleed an awfull lot if the heart is unable to pump at all. Basically blood just pools in the chest cavity but not enough to reach the "holes" - When the deer tips over, a good amount of blood is lost there.

I've seen it several times over the years - A deer can run pretty far on O2 in the blood. He was dead and just didn't know it.
