Passing On Bucks- Food For Thought
I had an interesting conversation with a buddy last week. Like alot of folks, he usually passes on a few legal bucks in the course of a season, waiting for a nice one. ( Not necessarily a huge one.) Let 'em go, let 'em grow....how many times have we heard this? Funny thing is, though, that by the last week or last day of the season, he told me now he would shoot any legal buck that gives him the opportunity, as time is running out. I asked him why he would abandon his philosophy just when the odds were finally starting to lean in favor of those smaller bucks making it to next year. Esp when he already had a couple of does in the freezer. He stood by his decision butI have to say thatI don't necessarily understand why. Anyone else have similar experiences or follow the same philosophy of passing deer until the last day, then taking whatever buck you can?
