The moose hunt was great! However, whitetails are my #1 favorite and the moose hunt did suck some of my vacation time away from them, but I'll live.

mauser06,
4 seasons ago that wouldn't have happened. When I first started hunting for trophy whitetails, the hardest thing to do was pass on some nice looking bucks. But the fact is, you can't make a P&Y out of a 120" buck. Their antlers don't stretch enough!

After 14 seasons of trying for P&Y bucks, I decided to step it up a notch and try for bucks in the upper 140 or better range. Again, it was tough to pass on sure P&Y bucks up to the 135" range. This is the 2nd 135" I've passed on. I'll tell you, my bow was pointed right at him and I felt myself starting to draw acouple of times! But I've proven it to myself many times before that if I'm patient, I'll get my chance. I also know that the higher you set your goals there is a greater chance of not reaching it and I'm OK with that. I don't have to get a buck every year to make me happy, although it is my plan to do so.

Good luck guys
