Has been one of, if not the best eating deers I've ever had. Plus will get a euro done with the full velvet.
After buying a bow this year my goal was to harvest something with it, so mission accomplished! I am however a bit bummed to be done white tail hunting this early on.

Nice! A whitetail from the ground with a bow is a real trophy. Congrats
You aren’t done. Not even close. Think about it this way, how much can you learn about deer now that the pressure is off? Scout, hang trail cams, go out with a camera/spotting scope. Build up your “in-season” knowledge as much as possible, because I can almost guarantee the next one will make you work for it. Or go hunt mulies.
