Shot a buck about 530. He ran 15 yards then stopped stood wagging tail. Couldn't see body to tell where shot was. Then he walked away and might have bedded 75 yards or so away. Just got down quietly and checked arrow decent blood on arrow some blood on ground. Doesnt smell like guts. Would you think a liver shot?

If your not for sure on hit, even if it's liver or 1 lung I would give a minimum 2 to 4 hours. Check the bloodtrail the first 50 yds and see how much you got to go off of. Depending where your at in Indiana there is some rain moving in so that can change some things.

Usually with a liver hit you will find multiple beds where they laid and bled. What color is the blood. Dark?

Sounds like liver. Give him time. I wouldn't look for him until at least 9. Keep us posted and good luck.

Not dark blood just the way he walked off wagging tail is what I was questioning.

The fact that he bedded down so quickly has to mean he`s hit hard. Give him a couple hours, then very quietly follow up on the trail.

Trust the blood. Not the deer's reaction. Wait as long as you're are willing to wait before trailing.
Twice I shot deer and was infuriated because there reaction left me to believe I missed. One of them ran thirty yards turned around and proceeded to snort and stomp and do the head bob trying to figure out where that noise of the bow came from. She did that for about a minute before falling to the ground and starting the death flail.
The second ran about forty yards and turned,stopped and looked around wondering what that noise was. He stood there for thirty seconds then casually walked away out of sight as though he didn't have a care in the world. That one left me reevaluating my life. I sat there for an hour contemplating what went wrong before even looking for blood. I almost shouted out loud when I found blood everywhere. He grossed 160 and was my biggest ever.
Good luck.
