Ben– By golly now that’s a real hunt, the genuine no-BS pure outdoor adventure stuff of many hunters’ dreams, whether first kill or as an old veteran. I don’t have access to boat or island hunting but for years I made a point at least once during every hunting season (elk here in CO) to spend a night out “among ’em” with only my hunting pack. No fire, cold food, put on all my clothes and rain suit and lie down beneath a tree. I always was careful to pick dry weather for the adventure, however. But I learned it was backfiring to be so close to the game, which is very active at night. Anyhow congrats on your first kill. The more we put into anything the more well-deserved pride we get out of it.
