Default new hunter taking first shot

Long time looker, first time poster here. last weekend i took a good buddy to my land in the persuit of taking his first deer. He has hunted birds for a couple of years but never sat in a stand. well he hunted all morning without a deer. during the afternoon hunt, he got me on my cell with a text message stating that he had a doe raggen size (raggen is his 100lb dog) and that he was going to pass. knowing that i had 5 doe tags left i told him to take it since he said it was 100+. well he took the shot and dropped it from 215 yards out. when i got out of the stand and over to his plot, i walked up on the deer to find a 60lb button buck. part of me was excited for my friend being able to shoot his first deer with my rifle on my land, but the other part was disapointed that such a small deer was taken. should i feel responsible for the loss? i told him to take it while thinking that it was a legit doe when i was over 3 miles on the other side of the property. i have been loosing sleep for the past 2 nights over this.
