I called in the tag on this buck, this morning.
I'm done buck hunting, here. I'll gt out for a doe or two ......but this season has been my best ever (irregardless of this found buck).
I'm"OK" with how this panned out in the end (not speaking of the fact that the deer wasn't initially recovered in a timely fashion). I'll sleep just fine....and NO...I don't need to kill another buck.
The largest buck I saw all yea ris still romaing the woods....and I'm making plan with the guy who wrecked my ATV the other night (guy I share my woods with) to try to put HIM on this buck. We're looking for an easterly PM wind and some luck. After Saturday.....a westerly AM might get it done.
I wanted to thank everyone for their honest opinions on this thread. I just had to do what I thought was "right". Killing another buck....and knowing of this one...wouldn't have been (in MY eyes).
Thanks, again.
