RE: what would you do??
Become selective if thats what you heart is telling you. I don' t know about in Penn., but in the Midwest most bucks only have to live to 3 1/2 yrs to be huge!!!
Every young buck that you shoot is guaranteed not to make it to that age. Espescially if you have a limited number of buck tags per year. Why shoot a 1 1/2 during the first couple of weeks of the season and then be done buck hunting for the rest of the season. Lot' s of people would be amazed at what would walk by next if they were just patient. Of the big bucks I' ve killed several of them came by me after I' d already passed up 2 1/2 yr olds that were just not quite P and Y caliber bucks. No each his own though. Keep tagging does to keep your skills sharp, and then when that buck of a lifetime comes along you' ll be ready. Keep it fun first and foremost!!!
Good Luck.
