You are approaching this with an "at home" kind of attitude. Where deer are shot for population control. This scenerio is depicting an expensive hunt that you are most likely there for the memories & trophy as much or more than the meat. I doubt few people are going to pay $400 to shoot a doe. You killed the deer, you recovered it, but you got screwed out of the meat. Stuff happens you move on. Its not about putting the deer on a pedastal or anything like that(at least for me) its just about owning up to the kill.
