I hate hearing people say... " there isnt any big bucks in my area" we used to think the same thing. Until we decided to start letting the little ones go. It has been 5 eyars now and it is paying off in a very large way. I tell them, if you have little ones, if you didnt shoot them there would be big ones. I tell ya though it was hard passing up bucks for a while, but now just seeing them and knowing they have a chance at being someones trophy in a few years is real excitement.
