For the past eight years or so my father and I have hunted apart from one another. We usually go into the woods together and then go to our own stands on our property. For the past two years we have gradually started planting food plots and now have a tower box blind amid our various food plots. This year we are planning on doing some father son hunting from our new blind. When I was younger and we sat together he would always let me be the shooter. Now that I have taken a few deer and no longer am trying to get my first I got to thinking who should get the shot if a big buck would step into shooting range.

So put yourself in the situation where two hunters are sitting together and a 160 class buck steps into range. How would you decide who gets to shoot? Would you decide before you got into the woods? Would you let the person with the better shooting angle? Would you let the person who didn't bag a buck last year take the shot? I am sure this is something my father and I will talk about before deer season but I just wanted to pose the question to see what others would do.
