I did almost the same. But, I'd marked first blood. When I couldn't find more, I called a friend. He found more blood, then we found a good solid blood trail and recovered my deer about 50 yards from impact.
My problem was I kept letting the running deer I saw influence my direction instead of staying and searching a tight grid around last blood. Guess I let myself get rusty.
