RE: passing bucks
Can't say whether I would have passed him up or not. Never shot a whitetail buck. So I would definitely have to think real hard about shooting. A doe is nice in the freezer also and like others said taste better. But I will say, I am no calculator that can figure 110, 130, or 200. If it comes along and it looks like one I would like to shoot, then I will, if it isnt, like a spike or one i can assess is younger, than I will let it walk. Guess one day I will have to make that choice..... but i won't shot just to shoot a buck. Trouble where I am is if it has antlers spikes or other wise it gets shot. Some folks still dont want to shoot does and haven't figure out about bucks becoming bigger bucks if you pass on them. But like I say, if it comes along and looks like I want to shoot it, I will.[8D]
