Bad shot?

I shot a doe back a few weeks ago with a 30-06 spring field. It's a browning ab3 30-06 with a Leupold 3-9x40 vx freedom. It groups quarter inch with the 180 grain Remington core lokt only bullet the gun groups under 1.5 inches. I'm very confident with the set up. I shot a white tail doe at 126.4 yards to be exact laying on the ground with a bipod she jumped blood gushing out everywhere she ran about 14 yards and stopped like she wasn't even hit. So I shot her again high shoulder she falls down on her front legs and starts pushing with her back legs and get out of there I go down to where I last seen her there is blood for about 30 yards then it stops and everything else stops too. I searched 20 different directions for her searched for 5 hours never found her. Went back the next morning and looked for about 2 hours couldn't find her. My experience with the Remington core lokt had always been great with 270 308 223 243 and a few others what ever the bullet made contact with ran less than 40 yards. Could it be that I missed her with 2 shots with a rifle that 2 days before was shooting perfectly accurate and grouping under half moa. Not saying I I didn't miss but I feel very confident in the shot I took. Has anybody had this happen? Tia

Also I shot the rifle the next day and it was still hitting dead on zero at 100!!
