Sorry to hear that happened man.
You gave it a fair and ethical try and were responsible in taking the shot.
You gave it your all to find the animal.
There's nothing more that can be done, and what's more you did those with skill.
If that corksoaker stole your deer, then at least know you made a good shot and there's not a buck out there running around suffering right now because of you. Or dead and never found.
Small consolation I know. But some people just really suck.
