Default best shot placement on a deer

hey guys, i would like an opinion or two on this. in october, i took a 25+/- yard shot from the ground. i had snuck up on the deer, and it gave me a quartering towards me shot, head to the left. i chose front shoulders, and watched my arrow drive it home, heard the crack of an impact. never found the deer, even with use of a tracking dog. this saturday, bow season starts again, and i still think i took the right shot, better than a gut shot, and would do it again. the tracking guy says that my arrow probably hit the shoulderblade, and never really got through. would you have taken this same shot, or places it someplace else. i know one thing, i was that i could have shot it, at that range, with a gun. the freezer would look a bit better.
