I finally got this concept through my head this year. I have taken many nice bucks over the years but nothing that has touched the booney chart yet. I saw many good bucks again this year but i find that i have spoiled myself on the borderline bucks and am mature enough now to let them walk. I do not need the meat therefore i have no problem eating my tag which is what i ended up with this year. I actually feel good that i did not shoot anything because of a few of those bucks i left will be pushin shooters in the next few years if they stick around. But it is each to their own to make that decision. However for me some of the feeling has gone from when i was a younger hunter.
