Default is setting high standards a form of being greedy

so i had about a 130"class buck at 10yds last night. is was by me for 40minutes. i opted not to shoot him for hopes of something bigger. that got me to thinking. since opted to hold out and not shoot him cause i wanted a bigger buck does that make me greedy? i don't want to be greedy but i don't want to shoot a so-so buck. he would have been the biggest buck i'd taken with a bow. i'm kind of kicking myself but it's to late now.
i know i'm gonna get heat for calling a 130" a so-so buck but that's fine.

i was hunting with a friend for the first time on his farm. he'd never shot a buck that big and i woulda felt like a jerk shooting a "big" buck the first time setting foot in his woods. plus i don't shoot a buck unless it's big enough to get mounted (a good mount is about $500) so that stops my trigger fingure pretty quick.

greedy or picky?
