Default no kill hunting

I just came back from my second hunt ever. I got an opportunity to hunt a 10 square mile fenced estate and I could take 4 wild boar and there was a wounded doe ( bad gunshot to the rear leg, that's why the owner prefers bowhunters )
Beautiful daym clear skies but -16 degrees celcius.
I had a great treestand spot near a crossing, lots of tracks.
I saw maybe 10 big boar but non close enough or in any decent shooting lanes. So afternoon come I decided to change to the opposite corner of the crossing. Within half an hour a herd of 30 deer with the wounded doe stood before the other stand I was in before I moved. I could just look and be amazed how strong these animals are. The doe's upper hind leg was swollen and full of dried blood and she just followed on three legs.
That afternoon I lost sense in fingers and my face but I saw at least 4 other wild boar shoot past, too fast to draw on.
I still concider this a better hunt than the first one I was on and where I killed a doe.
