Very excited to see what this guy looks like this year after passing on him at least 3 times last year... He would be harder to pass - big body, high and wide but just a 8 with weak brows. Hope I'd let him walk till December.

I haven't seen many bucks with my own eyes while hunting, but surprisingly I have passed on a couple early in the season. Not thinking I'll do this anymore. LOL I just don"t see many.
If he's as big as the one I have, I'd shoot him.

I've only passed on 1 deer in my entire life and that was a fawn directly below me during archery season 1 year,it just kept looking up at me trying to figure out what I was. I started talking to it and it just kept looking at me. Just too cute to shoot. So needless to say I'd shoot him without hesitation.

In Indiana I pass up many bucks ever year. I hold out for the big guy. I've come close each year over the last three years, but maybe this year. I know I can go back home to get an Ohio buck. I'm blessed to have two great places to hunt. I set up my new trail camera two weeks ago and have does everyday so far. Maybe the bucks will show up.

I would not because that deer has to much character. I love funky racks no matter the age. I had a buck in my sights that was 2.5yo and was a two point. He was the longest spike I had ever seen. But I passed on him to allow my younger bil to have a go at him.

I wouldn't pass a spike buck I in fact heavily hunted a spike buck two years ago. I have never killed one so I want to.

I hunt public land & you don't get a second chance at a good buck. There has been times when I thought that a buck would make a great trophy if it could make it another year or so but most don't make it past the next deer stand. I would like to someday buy some land & watch deer grow year to year. So yes I would take the shot on the first buck.
