RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
Until I start hunting areas where I get multiple chances a season to pass on “shooter” caliber bucks, I’m shooting that busted up racked buck if he otherwise meets my standards. In my eyes, having a busted rack does not lessen the achievement of shooting that deer. I am lucky to get one chance at a buck meeting my standards a season, and I am not going to let him pass just because he’s busted up.
Kudos to those who can, I’m just not in that position to do so.
