Passed (2x) on a nice 8pt - not huge but still nice buck this weekend.
He looked kind of skinny (I could see his hip bones & the beginnings of his ribs). All of the other deer on this property are big & fat bodied deer. I passed because I was afraid that he was sick.
There is corn, alfalfa & soybeans galore (along with modern suburbias various gardens) for this guy to enjoy and eat. Something just didn't seem right.
So I guess that I do look at the deers condition before I harvest.
