Any blood on arrow fletchings at all? No green or brown film on arrow? Smell at all? What color was hair on arrow? How long was the hair? If what you describe is all that was on arrow, may not be fatal. An older buck is tougher than average for sure. All you can really do is look hard in the direction he went. Get in the very last spot that you visibly saw him and scan the ground on your knees for even a speck of something. Sometimes it just happens. It's a very bad feeling. The thing to do is shake it off, and put it behind you. Take the next shot at one with 100% confidence.

You would smell a gut shot on the arrow easily.
Sounds like just tallow n fat with some hair meaning a hit above the guts , maybe even backstrap. I've hit one before in this area and it was fine. Saw him two days later carrying on as usual. He was killed two weeks after that chasing a doe so take that FWIW.

Also if it was right behind the lungs you would have gotten liver which will kill them but takes a bit longer. Not to mention a solid liver hit would have sprayed blood out the other side like a rifle hit.
