I passed on a nice typical 10 point that prolly went 120s,
A 120+ class 10 pointer would be the deer of a lifetime for about 90% of hunters. If that buck is the biggest you've ever seen while hunting, why would you pass it and expect to see a bigger one? If you see plenty of 150"+ bucks a season, then I guess it's reasonable to pass on a 120 or so inch buck. It's just not reasonable to most and ludicrous to others.
Attached is my biggest buck so far. It ended up netting down to 115". It grossed 128". There was no way I would have passed this buck in hopes of catching him again in 2 years.
