I think there's something we're overlooking. There's a LOT of people who would shoot the spike on day 1, 2, 3 ......of their season.
Nothing wrong with that, at all.
It's like shooting a 110" buck on your last day of an oufitted hunt.....when you KNOW there's 150+" deer on the property. I wouldn't blame the guy who lets that smaller (relative

) buck walk. I wouldn't blame the guy for taking him.
No wrong answer, huh?
Absolutely right ...there is no wrong answer ... and it IS interesting to see how many guys would do it the last few minutes of the hunt and not do it the first week or so .... I understand that totally, as I am a meat hunter ...
