If you did hit him, it sounds like a text book gut shot. The only thing on the arrow would be a clear liquid that dries really quick. And it dries clear sometimes. But it should smell a little bit and you should have some hair. But if is hit as stated you won't have blood for maybe 20 yards or more. Work your way down the trail he headed and you might find something if he was hit.
