You need to go back and look really hard. If anything, try to track him as far as you can. I shot a deer too far back one time and was really worried. When I got down, though I did have a blood trail. It turned out to be one of the shortest trailing jobs I have ever had. The arrow sliced the artery just below the spine and killed the buck in a very short time. You may have gotten lucky and hit something like that and the deer could be bleeding internally. You have to go back and look some more.
