RE: the question-do I take the shot or wait a year?
On our property we don't have the deer numbered or have tracking devices on them. That said - I have no way to know where a buck will be 365 days later. It seems like every year we have different bucks that come around but I never seem to see the same one year after year. If guys can let a buck walk and easily find him again next year, I'd like to know how. If I like a buck, I'll take him. You can discard and draw another card, but you could be playing with multiple decks that keep getting shuffled. You might discard a King and pull a 2 instead of an Ace.
