I think if yall passed on the buck the next time you seen him would be at the checking station or the butcher house. And what if the buck busted you and went noctornal, or if the rut was on. he could be in the next county under someone elses stand. If that oppurtunity presented itself I would take a shot if I could. Ive had that happen to me countless times, big deer stepping out on me. And everytime they busted me or I couldnt get a shot and ive never seen those deer again. even hunting the area for the rest of the season. so the next time that opp. presents itself I will be ready even if I had a downed deer elsewhere. With all the time, money, and practice I put in every year Im not going to let something like that walk... espicially with a bow cuz thats all I do.
