Default Shot a Doe Tonight Good Shot Gone BAD

Hit a doe tonight 5 min before sunset 20 yard shot darn lumenok didnt stay lit after it hit. Deer ran offrunning with tail upwatched as best as I could but never saw it or heard it fall. waited a half hour got down started to look for my arrow looked around didnt find arrow or blood were I shot her. sostarted to walk trail the deer ran on and found arrowthe arrow is covered from tip to tip with white hair and a piece of fat on the broadhead also on the broadhead is some very short white hairs were the piece of fat is. All the fletchings have long white hairs on them and some smeared dark red blood on them. Started to walk the trail found no blood whatsoever. so we went back to the arrow and started to make big circles and still found no blood we looked for a good 2hrs. I did notice when leaving a branch I could not see from my tree because of darknessthat probably made the arrow deflect. I know it was a verylow hit and probably just wounded her but just wanted your opions Thanks it's sucks that just one little limb can screw you up. I did take pictures of the arrowbut dont know how to post them if someone can post them I could email them to you.
