Should have tried harder IMO. I would have. 2 hours isn't that long, terrain can tell you a lot.
If it was the biggest deer I've ever seen hunting in 16 years, I would have probably burned a whole day following up possibilities, maybe more.
Why do people post these threads anyhow. What if we said: yes, that deer is definitely dead, that's a fatal hit. Would you feel bad about not looking more? WOuld you look more? Or would you argue about it till someone gets all uppity?

To be honest, if I didn't find any blood after searching for 2 hrs I probably would be in your shoes. It happens sometimes...thats hunting. I haven't ever lost a deer so I can't tell you for sure. You were the only one there and if you think you did all you could then I say better luck next time and practice practice practice. To be honest, everybody who says I would have looked all day, thatsgreat, but I have never been with anybody who has shot a deer and couldn't find it, look all day. I know some of you will say you have and thats fine but I think most of those hunters are in the minority.
