As already said by others, you should be proud! Shooting a deer with a bow is a very hard task. The phrase "any deer with a bow is a trophy" is not too far off.

I have gravitated towards taking larger bucks because I am fortunate to have quite a bit of opportunity to hunt, as well as the challenge I am looking for. But, when I look back, the hunts I think of most fondly rarely has to do with antler size.

As you said, being in the woods is wonderful. Congrats!
