was the shot high? If you hit him between the lungs and the spine you might not ever find him. but if you hit him in the lower 3rd of the body, the arrow doenst have to go in very far to hit the vitals. 6-8 inches in the right spot should be enough to at least take out 1 lung. My dad shot a buck between the vitals and the spine and we never found him either. He didnt bleed much though.
