Any 6pt or better buck passed during firearm season here in this area of Michigan will not be seen come late bow season or muzzle loader season. some one else harvested it. Very few make it past 2 1/2 years old and you can buy 5 roe tags per day over the counter here.
I passed up a weird 8 point in 2010, had huge beams but little tiny 2 inch points. I watched that deer come down the hill 50 yards from my blind cross the creek walk about 50 yards across the flood flats and start up the hill on the other side and die before he made it to the crest. Fellow next door got it and couldn't believe I had just let it walk away.
