With two days left of the season are you shooting or passing this buck?

I passed this buck; I shot two maybe a bit bigger than him and with a full freezer why not save him for next year. Maybe he will turn into a giant? It also didn’t help that the state that I live in only allows you to hunt until sunset…

That being said I passed up 4 3-year-olds last season hoping for them to sprout into giants only to never see them again. When hunting small parcels, it sometimes hard to pass up those mature deer with potential knowing that most of your neighbors will shoot these bucks. In the past I’d say 60 to 70% of the 3-year-olds make it. 4 years of age and older are 80 to 100 percent. last season what definitely a crappy gamble but I’m still sticking with the odds.

What are your thoughts?
