Awesome job congrats. I said the same thing about the buck. However many times a doe stands their just begging to be drilled with an arrow. I feel it is my duty to oblige her. And then I say I'll get that big buck next year. It's just to hard to pass up easy meat.

Depends on how much you shoot. I shoot 5-10 arrows a day and wax it about once a week.
