So why pull the trigger? Really, I mean how are you going to determine the extra tine, or inch on the beam, the next time? You figured that out? I don't mean to bust your chops, but that's a nice deer. I can't understand somebody being dissapointed with that. Don't get sour on me, I just can't understand it.
Not to speak for EI, but with bucks out there significantly bigger than that one, for me it is very easy to understand his pain. In many places that may be a nice deer, but evidently in his(and certainly in mine) that's not really anything to give a second look at.
He's just saying how low light conditions played with his eyes and he shota buck smaller than he wanted.
