Congrats and like Cayugad said it'll be Great Eating, there's always another day for the other one who got away that's what keeps us comming back.
I also avoid quartering to shhots, actually I wont take one again. I had 2 bad experiences with quartering to shots, one only took out 1 lung and I had a time getting that deer but finally did, the other was a quartering chest shot at 30yds, the same only got 1 lung. This one did'nt have a happy ending, I jumped the deer once then again and backed off as I saw it go back down and gave it awhile. When I returned it was expired where it laid but the Coyotes already went to work on the hind quarters in just less than a hour. A lesson learned about quartering to shots for me that hard way, way back in the day.
