Needless to say, you royally messed up. Sometimes there are things that just shouldn't be said.

Bring out the army. Sounds like the blood trail, if there was any, will be long gone given the rain. Go grab as many friends as you can get and find that deer. If it means getting on your hands and knees looking for the next clue, then do it. And just for your sake, if you don't spend a lot of time out there looking for it, it's probably a good idea to lay low and not even post anything about it, otherwise we'll eat you for breakfast.
