Anyone else have this happen?

I shot a doe the other night at about 200 yards with an '06. I have shot alot of deer with this gun and it is dead on accurate. I put the crosshairs just behind the shoulder and squeezed and the deer jumped like 5 feet straight up in the air and ran off with flag up. Well, I was SURE I killed the deer so I gave her twenty minutes and went over to where she was standing. I found what looked to me like good body hair but no blood. I know you don't always find a blood trail immediately and I am very good at tracking wounded deer. I ran out of light so I went back the next day and it poured as usual so no blood. I combed the area for hours- looking under blow downs and anything that looked out of place but couldn't find the deer. Has anyone out there had deer jump straight up like that? And if you did, where did you hit them? Would just like to know to put my mind at ease. Have also been back three times since then to look for crows and coyotes but haven't seen anything.
