    Give it three hours then come back to look for next blood and make a call based on that.

    Wise choice. From the blood looks like maybe liver. Definitely guts from the looks of the arrow. Is the white hair in the pic point of impact?

    Was the shot a steep angle? If so guessing exit through stomach and white hair. 2nd rib back might have nicked the lung. But more than likely all liver and some stomach. I would give minimum 6 hours. If he dies sooner he will still be there. I would be concerned to push him. You are making a wise choice by waiting.

    It looks like liver. Time is your friend. I liver shot my first archery buck two years ago with similar blood. I took up the track two and half hours after the shot. Blood trail disappeared quick, backed out overnight and came back the next morning. He was dead 100 yards away in a river. Don't push him.
