I could count my dear kills on both hands but only one that "dropped" was with a crossbow. It was about 1 1/2 years old. all my archery kills were the bloodiest.
To date I have only taken double lung shots.
Second bloodiest would be 50 cal muzzle loader. I was at a hunting camp in Tx this fall and the Guide said "don't count on any of these big bucks to drop for at least 30 yards or more"
Maybe your old timer was only hunting yearlings?
