Wish I could be there to help. I arrowed a buck near Pompey a few years back; seemed like a solid hit with a good initial blood trail. Arrow showed clean blood (no gut shot, but also no froth indicating a lung). After tracking it carefully for close to eight hours, with lots of "Hi, I'm tracking a wounded deer; may I cross your property?" and the trail almost disappearing at points, I jumped him from a bed and he took off all healthy like. There wasn't much blood where he had bedded down, so I concluded that I must have hit muscle that bled freely for a while and then caked over. Still remember that day clearly, and the consternation I felt. Only consolation was a pretty good sense that it wasn't a fatal wound, and that somebody else would probably get him during gun season. Keep us posted, and blessings on "the hunt."
