Default Worst feeling ever

Well went out last night hoping for the big one ive been getting on my camera for the last week. Got settled in at around 400 pm and started to see deer around 500. First deer to show up was a 6 point then i later called in a little 3 point around 530. Well it was around 600 now and i heard crashing above me and it sounded like it was coming in my direction. Well wouldnt you know it WAS HIM! He was coming right at me then started to be line a little out he got to about 10 yards broadside for a perfect shot i let er fly. Well the hit looked pretty good but i was not 100% sure. I could see him at the top of the hill just standing there and thats when i got worried.. he slowly walked off and i could no longer see him. well i waited about 15 mins then went to find my arrow it was broke in half and the other half was still in him. So i got atleast 10 inches or more of arrow in him. So i just backed out and went to eat and told my mom. Well i waited for a good 2 hours to start tracking. And immeadlty started to find a good blood trail. He slowly went his way thorugh the feild and i was still finding good blood. When i got into the other side of the field thats when the blood started to decrease. Long story short, I ended up tracking blood here and there and sometimes it would get good then faint again for about 400 yards! And the last drop of blood i found was in the middle of the road that he crossed. When this happned i just couldnt believe it i looked beyond that blood for about a 100 yards more and could not find anything! He bled the whole way and then it just stops! I just didnt no what to do after this so i went home and just had the worst sleep ever and am going back out in a little bit because it would have to be pouring down rain today.... I really need some comfort right now this is the worst feeling in the world! So do you think he is dead or whats your input? All i know is im not giving up on this deer!
