Hi Matt,
Congratulations on getting your first deer! I'm sure you didn't mean to shoot it in the best section of meat in the upper legs/rump. You probably meant to make a clean one-shot kill, and I'm sure that with more experience you'll be able to do so in the future. I'm also sure that you were proud of your kill, but you'd be even more proud if you made a clean one in order to minimize the suffering that your deer experienced. I bet that you'll spend a little more time at the rifle range improving your shooting skills over the next year, and I sincerely hope you get the satisfaction of making a clean, one-shot kill next year. You'll feel much better about it, I promise. Kind regards,
Rick
