I'm buckless and ok with it (kinda [8D]). I've passed onseveral different bucks that I would have shot last year. One I regret and probably should have shot. He was bigger than I thought at the time he was in my shooting lane and I passed. Confirmed by a sighting of him a week later [:@]. Actually I think I've had more bucks in bowrange this year than ever before. I lost count on how many 1.5 year olds I've seen. I raised the bar a notch for my standards this year. Hasnt' paid off for me obviously, but it sure is fun and I'm learning a lot more. Who knows, I still have 5 days to go for bowseason.
