yea i know your feeling. last year i had a big 10 come in just right out past 40 yards very slight quartering away. I can shoot very well at 40 yards on a target getting 2-3 inch groups but with all that adrenalin i dont feel comfterble shooting a deer out that far. Sad thing is he never came any closer and i aint seen him again!! But i have respect for you not taking that shot. its hard not to do that when you got the biggest deer ever right on you!!! but i hope you get another chance at him good luck!!
