Good luck finding him and as stated before the best thing you can do now is make concentric circles around last blood and hope to either find the deer or more blood.
I totally agree with you.

In this case I don't think the deer even bedded down. Unless I read something wrong! lol

I also think it was definitely a front shoulder hit. At 30 yards you will get very little penetration even if you are shooting high poundage. Good luck finding him.
