It's natural to feel emotional after killing your first big game animal, and I'm sure that your specific situation hasn't helped. When it comes to how to deal with your feelings, just remember that you gave the deer a quick death and that you and your family will utilise all of it. Your feelings of sadness will fade soon.
>>1970715Absolutely not; everyone makes mistakes. Just let this experience be a lesson for future hunts (i.e. take more care in identifying your prey).
>>1970820You can make a nice broth, and if you have dogs they will love them.
