How many years did you bowhunt before you shot and recoverd a mature buck?

Too damn long, 21 years but its my own fault! This last year I finally connected on a nice buck, he scored 140 1/8 net P@Y. I've passed on right around 15 or so 120" to 130" knowing I've had bigger and better bucks in the woods through out the years and also wasn't 100% sure if they were going to make books so I'd give them the pass. It could of been sooner possibly but I was pretty picky and still am when I started doing this buck and doe managing stuff. It was well worth the wait though!!
