I would say it largely depends on what blood vessels were hit and how much he bled out. Without knowing exactly where he was hit, it is hard to say. I do know that you owe it to him to do a good search. It stinks that it was raining because it makes for a very difficult track.

Do yourself a favor. Take the binocular and try to track in the direction you last saw that deer going. Use your glass more than your feet. You might see him ahead of you and be able to judge whether he is mortally wounded or even dead.
