Man your gonna here somemany times on this one you should have waited for the big one.
Me i think i would have to pass on the spike and go for a doe and save that tag. Especailly if you just seen the monster, it would be differnt if you havent seen it. If i didnt see it and this was my first with a bow i also would have shot the spike. BUT if saw the monster i would be hunting HIM plus does.

But still congrats on the first!!!
