Tough call, I passed a buck during the rut this year that I saw on opening day. He was a real nice 9, 145" or so, definitely a shooter in my book. Well, he came by on Nov. 14, well within range, but had broken off EVERYTHING, all he was were main beams and 1 g2. So, he got the pass. My goal this year was a buck for the wall, bigger than my others, which he certainly was, but not as a 3-point. So, for me, its about the rack I guess. I'm hopeful he survived the orange army, and will be a giant next year.

Had he only had 1 tine broken...he's a dead deer.
