We had a similar situation this last Saturday night when my father shot a nice 9pt, he thought it was quartering more than it was and wound up with one lung and liver. There was very little blood when we first started tracking which was an hour after the shot and kicked the deer up after about 50 yds. Then we waited another two hours to start tracking again and found him within a hundred yards. Very little blood and if we would have waited until morning the dew probably would have washed away more sign.
