Vab you got what it takes! Its tough but once you let the 1st few 120 inchers by it comes a little easier after that! What makes it tough is when you see them same bucks hanging in your neighbors tree. Its happened to me countless times but thats what happens when you pass them up. Look at it this way, if you pass up that 120 incher and this same buck runs by your neighbor and he shoots him, you just saved the big guy from getting shot. He's yours now to hunt!
I REALLY like this thought process. I get tired of hearing the argument that if I let a small or marginal buck walk, then someone else will just shoot it. Ahhhhhhhh yes, but with Ohio being a one buck state, that lucky hunter then can no longer compete with you getting the big one. I like that! Thanks for some ammo I can use when I have this conversation with my friends!
