RE: Passing On Bucks- Food For Thought
From what I've experienced most people in PA poach. Meat hunters & rack hunters, neither one has that market cornered.
But as for the original question, my intent is to hold to my rough shooter standard (120"+ and 3.5 yrs old) and be prepared to go buckless. I've never been tempted with a tweener though to know if I have the will power to hold out. Now I was prepared to shoot something smaller than normal, but still not too small this past gun season because I wanted to take a buck with my revolver. Also depending on my plans for the late season if I have my longbow in hand any decent sized buck will get an arrow sent his way as I'm still looking for my 1st kill with trad gear.
