If you end the season without killing a buck the world will not end.
I've passed a buck early and then shot it later in the season on one of my last hunts. I regret doing that, I think it was a dumb move on my part.
Shoot what you want, but private or public land if the buck is alive on the last day, odds are he's going to be there the next season and be much nicer.
Hell, I passed on a particular buck 3 mornings in a row in 3 different stands. I finally got tired of looking at him and killed him the 4th time. It was a great shot, a quick kill and he ate great.
So what is your point? Want an award?
