Sometimes angles can be deceiving. Watched a buddy shoot a 7pt a few years ago(we climbed 10ft apart). We both thought the shot was perfect behind the shoulder and broadside. Luckily for us he only ran about 50yds where we could still see him and stood there/bedded for an hour before he died. If we hadn't seen that we would have gotten down a lot sooner and surely bumped him. Turned out the arrow angled in severely and somehow only caught 1 lung and bled very little.
If the entrance was where you thought it was it caught something vital and he should be down, just maybe not as close as you think he should be.

It could be a little high and blood just filling up inside of him, instead of pouring out. I was with a buddy earlier this season and his wife shot a doe, right behind the shoulder just a couple inches high, he texted me to came help track cause they hadn't found any blood. We finally found small drips about every ten yards about the size of a grain of rice each spot. And found her less than 70 yards away. He got both lungs but was high. When we gutted her she was filled with blood. Just the hole was above the apex of the contour of the body.

I didn't get a pass through on the buck I shot last night. The arrow went through both lungs and stuck in the far shoulder. I could see him running for about 150 yards. We never found any blood until right around the body, but couldn't even back track him to see where he came from to get there. When I opened him up he was absolutely full of blood. He had to have drown.
Did you talk to the people in the office? They say that they will let you back in tomorrow if you have one down, but I don't know about to track one that you haven't found.

Angles can be deceiving and also body position. The doe I took this year I would have sworn that I would not hit the off-side front leg, but I sure did. She wasn't quartered away, but apparently had her leg stretched back far enough for me to catch it. Another broken arrow! Sometimes it can be pretty hard to penetrate that off-side leg for a pass-through.
