Looks like you did everything right. Unless I see a deer fall, I wait a minimum of 30 minutes. Let the deer stiffen up. I tell new hunters to wait affter shooting a deer and they wonder why. I use this example. If you run a couple miles stop and immediately start walking again, you'll be fine, but if you sit down for a half hour, the lactic acid will build up and if you want to run again it will be a lot tougher. Again, congrats on a nice buck and you did everything like a true seasoned hunter would have.
