Thanks Brithunter, you covered Waidmannsheil real good. It is also used to congratulate a hunter on taking a game animal, so in this case I was just using it that way
I understand you were running on adrenaline mini, especially since it was your first deer!! I'd have probably kept shooting also. I let 'em run though so I don't have that guts issue is all! They usually don't go far anyway, Dom.
