What' s funny is now that you have " decided" to take him he will probably give you the slip.
Two years ago I set up a certain standard for myself. I let some bucks pass that I would have normally shot and wound up shooting nothing. I figured out that year I enjoy bow hunting a lot more when I actually shoot something. So last year I dropped my standard and got no shots at my lowered standard on bucks. I did release 8 arrows though ( 3 pigs a doe a coyote and a couple misses just to keep me humble). Much funner when shooting than sitting there waiting on the near impossible.
In my case the size of the trophy is determined by the carrying capacity of the land.
