If it happened again, I would stop again. If you seen that buck which I have on 2 more occasions and once more in the same circumstance, but the 170 was at a jog as was the droptine buck. I'm praying that the 3 of the 4 quarters that I hunt on are bow hunting only and I'm the only hunter,the other quarter has 5 hunters that all shotgun hunt. They shot a buck I named Star 2 years ago that was a non typical that would score 170 easy but was nasty to look at. I was hoping he made it one more year.

Dang Rocky. That would be almost impossible for me to answer with any cetaintly until I found myself in that situation. I like to think that I'd do the same thing you did, but I just don't know for sure.
I do know one thing, and that is that I'm looking forward to Ohio starting Saturday. It'll be the first time I've ever hunted in a location where 140" class deer aren't that uncommon and a 160" to 180" is actually a possibility. Maybe not for me, but it's a possiblity for someone. Hey, anything could happen during the rut, right?
I hope that drop tine buck is still around and that it all works out for you. Good luck!
