Default Gut shot, how long to lay?

Shot was about 6-8" back from where it needed to be, and was high.
Deer jumped and ran 20 yards, stood looking around for 5-8 minutes, walked 10 feet and laid down for 15 min. got up stood for 5 min, walk slowly for 3 min, stopped for 2 min, walked very slowly up into an over grown field.

arrow was pas thru, with some red on it, no green slime, I could see the exit wound while he was standing, it was halfway between the front leg and the rear qtr, in the top 1/3 of the deer. He was dragging some gut, I am not happy about this at all.

I did not push tonight, Going back in the morning.
Any advice?

Thanks,
Slack
