I'll be that was tough. But you know what? That's the right attitude to have. If you weren't a little sympathetic, you wouldn't have any respect for the animal. Learn from it and go on. I think I would have just put another arrow in her, but hey, it got the job done.
Congrats on your first archery deer! It's an accomplishment, and nobody can take anything away from that.
