well misses happen
BUT if you know you hit the one, I think you should have gobne back the next day to look fsome more
if a deer only went a short distance and laid down, even without a lot of blood, that means it hurting
and could just be bleeding inside
a better search in day light is something all bow hunters should do, rather than just give up?
NOT bashing you, just saying, if it was me I would have gone back the next day and gave it a hard look, and even brought help if I had anyone to help
I have found many deer that didn't bleed much, but doing a grid search
best of luck and still a LOT of time left to fill your tags, hang in there, it will happen!
