Default Would you do it?

OK, scenario. You are hunting land you have never hunted and know absolutely nothing about. You have been lead to a stand in the dark, dropped off for the hunt. 8:00 AM rolls around, you have a 125" buck broadside at 20 yds. You have one tag for the season, no other areas to hunt for the rest of the season.

Will You Do It?

How much land? Where at? How many days can I hunt this property? What's the property produced in the past?

That would be almost 20" more antler than I've ever had a shot at.....so yeah. I'd take the shot with no hesitation.

I can film the rest of the season for whomever.

Too many variables as GR8 has stated so I am undecided.

GR8, this is the beauty of it. You don't know Where, How many days, Or what it has produced in the past.LOL

Kinda hard choice for some.[:-]

Too many unanswered variables for me. The situation as described would never happen so I guess I'm not seeing the point, sorry.

NEW61375, it's ok to have an imagination and ponder what your own reaction would be.
