67, what round are you using? It sounds like a big rifle and the deer look small and the last one ran a long ways. I'm just surprised they didn't drop faster.
I'm currently using a 3" 12ga Remington accutip in a marlin 512. The first two does had milk that was drying up, they were about 75 and 70lbs. The third one was a 1.5 yo and about 65 lbs.
As for the shot on the third one it was just left of center in the front of the chest. It took out one lung length wise. Total distance she ran after the shot was less then 50 yards. I typically stick to vitals instead of dropping them with head/spine shots. They can be tough sometimes, I've had them make it 60 yds with half their heart missing.
