    The fact that you feel bad about losing that animal and went to look for it for several hours speaks well of your character.

    A true sportsman feels a responsibility to take an animal's life quickly and cleanly. The emotion that goes with losing something wounded is to my mind, a difficult but necessary part of hunting. If you have no empathy, then you will take no care.

    As has been said before, your record prior to this has been pretty damn good.
