The hunt might not have gone off the way you would have liked it scripted, but that doesn't diminish the class of animal you put down. Whatever you lacked in the execution of your shot, you more than made up for in your determination and effort in the recovery.

Now pick your chin up and quite beating yourself over the head for something that could happen to the best hunter. Forgive yourself and move on.

As Mr. Primos once said..."This ain't Hollywood!" In the real world things happen, dreams don't always come true; in the final analysis, yours did...just not the way you wanted it too.

I wish you well...
