Yep, if you found a lot of white hair, the shot was low. The fact that the deer was bounding away with her tail up also means that it wasn't a good hit. All of the deer I have seen hit with a decent shot run away with their tail tucked down.

We had the exact same thing happen several years ago. I didn't see the shots being taken because I was in a different area of the farm, but I did hear them. The guy unloaded the gun on the doe in the middle of a large grass field. We found a decent amount of white hair on the ground and he said the doe jumped into the air pretty high. Of course, we couldn't find a drop of blood anywhere around the hair or otherwise and this was in a grass field in the morning on a clear and sunny day. There is no doubt in my mind that he hit her really low.
