If the critter was shot properly (define "properly"), but lived or died slowly.
Edit: "Bullet failure" can sometimes be confused with "user error". As in using an expanding bullet but expecting hard cast results, or vise versa.
shot properly is always a sticking point. you read it all the time . "i shot a buck with this gun/caliber/load combo right in the heart, it ran off with little to no blood and i never found it" then prove to me you hit it where you said. not animal no proof. when we are talking deer sized game they are not hard to kill. but like some have said what performance are YOU looking for and are YOU satisfied with.
