Great shot and story.
I understand your quest and think I understand how you feel after you have completed your task. I too went through a quest similar to yours but not on the same scale, and the feeling of accomplishment left a gap in my soul. I needed a new challenge now but I was not ready to let the last challenge go so easy.
A great achievement for sure. I have a hard time hitting a target with a long bow, much less the most elusive critter in the woods.
You sir, are an archer in high regard.
