I jumped into a stand this evening after work and after about 30 minutes, I saw a deer about 60 yards away. I watched it for a bit as it worked it's way in the other direction, still unsure if it were a buck or a doe. The deer turned right around like they do and started heading right towards me. I initially thought that it was a doe, but soon realized that it was a 6 point buck. He went behind a tree blocking me from sight and I stood up and attached my release to my string. He popped out to the left and offered me a textbook, perfect broad side shot at 15 yards and just stood there looking at something on the ground for about 30 seconds. I realized for the first time that I had no interest in shooting this deer or any young buck! I stood and watched him walk away and I am pleased with the decision to wait for a larger buck. Once it got dark I heard several, much larger deer running around me crashing into stuff! The big boys are getting frisky...
