RE: Shot buck late........not gonna get much sleep
First of all, you should not be hunting again until you either recover the deer, or have given every possible effort into recovering him. If you're hit was a little high, that would explain the lack of blood, and with no exit that will also hurt the blood trail. He shoot start bleeding in a little, and from there the blood trail will be good. Good luck finding him, and don't shoot another deer until you recover this buck.
