Good hunt with a great write up KG. Props to the 'Fire crew who helped you out as well. Looks like the Mrs. is happy with the meat haul. You'll remember this one for the rest of your life.
As far as the shot goes, you can't get any deader than dead. Didn't waste meat either. Some years ago in WY we came across a nice pronghorn after looking for several days. We lazed it from the truck. 398. I got a good rest and touched off the 300WM 180 NP. DRT...and all on tape. Was feeling pretty proud of myself when dad said "Damn fine shot! Right behind the ear!" I played it off for a while, but had to fess up to the boys. I was aiming for the shoulder crease. Damn thing had its head down feeding. Wind and bullet drop caught him on a hail mary. Funny story and I put it on the wall. Dead is dead.
