Default Long-Term Deer Recovery

I shot the biggest deer of my life lastSaturday 12/6/08.I shot him at 50 yards with a .50 cal muzzleloader. I found a decent blood trail about 10 yards from the point of impact.Out of fear of jumping the deer, Iwaited untilSunday to track the deer. Ireturned Sunday a tracked the deer for about 100 to 150 yards before losing the trail. I have returnedseveral times, but am having no luck finding the deer. I think I hit the deer in the upper back below the spine.Can this be a fatal shot?Every day at lunch I watch the mountain where I shot the buck for buzzards but have not seen any flying. How long does ittakefor buzzards to show up? What do you guys think Ishouldnext?
