Hang in there Mathewsboy! There is always someone thats going to give his unwanted advice[:'(] And unnecesary comments![:'(] Buy what you have sead it is most likely was a good hit. But i am thinking maby a gut or intestines is pluging the hole on the other side where the arrow came out? I have had that happen a few times in the past. First the blood comes out fast, Then all of a sudden it just stops? There most likely is more blood it`s just staying on the inside i doubt the deer ran very far, Try looking around water and thickets near buy. Good luck!
