Couldn't agree more with the first post. I like it. Just helps to reinforce why I'm passing up on these nice 3.5 year olds. Took cell pics this morning of a nice 120-125" 3.5 year old ten point. Just learn to enjoy the moment and the opportunity. And be patient.
James I'm not laughing at YOU....but your post makes me chuckle. I have to ask....how many of these 3.5 yr olds do you pass on every season? How far removed from the world most of "us" hunt do you think this sounds? I've seen three deer in 4 seasons that would fit that bill. If I passed on them.....I'd never kill a buck. I've seen just slightlymore 2.5 yr olds.....and last year I saw ZERO 2.5 yr olds in 48 sits. This year....I've seen maybe 2-3 (2.5's).
I'd ask Bob the same question. I'd like to know what you're "Passing" on (or....not attempting to shoot).
