RE: When do you make that decision to shoot or not?
That's what makes hunting whitetails so interesting...I have never seen a 140-150 class buck in the wild in NC...And I have hunted them for about 40 years....I am fortunate in that our season starts in Mid-September and runs until the end of December and I can legally kill 6 a year, owning farmland, I can actually legally kill more than that, but haven't done so in many years, I get more enjoyment in helping others now than ever before...
