Heck I'll be honest. I've went 8 to 9 years without shooting a buck. I've been passing up bucks for 18 years. Here and there I get lucky enough to get what I want. I'll go 20 years without shooting a buck if he isn't big enough. Its just the way I am and how I hunt. It wouldn't and doesn't bother me one bit on not shooting a buck. There's plenty of other deer (does and doe fawns) to be shooting if it comes down to that. Besides I go bear hunting usually every year so the chances of releasing an arrow are fairly good for the most part. I'm on a new streak though being last year I shot myself a decent 8pt so I'll probably start another buckless streak this fall!![8D][8D]
