Congratulations!
Your experience brings up a great point for consideration.
When you have an either-sex tag in your pocket especially if it's a unit that takes a while to draw, it's probably a good idea to mull it over beforehand whether you are going to take the first available shot or wait on a big bull. No right or wrong and it may change during the hunt but I think it's important to have thought about it before you start an internal debate when the opportunity comes. Usually not a lot of time to scratch your head.
