Not having a shot and "passing" are two different things IMO.
Agreed. Someone mentioned "passing" on a 55-65yd shot the other day, here. I said where I'm from.....that's called a "sighting".
I've "passed" on every 1.5 yr old buck....and at least one 2.5 yr old. No deer I've passed on would break 75". There's also a couple 2.5's I wouldn't pass on that I've seen this year.
