Sunday afternoon I passed on a pretty nice 8 pointer at 30 yds. I debated on wether to shoot him at the time because as he was aproaching I couldn't get a real good look at him through the small brush & grass. As he walked away I got a little better look and wondered if I screwed up!

Last night I didn't get the chance to get out hunting but right before sunset I climed on top of the grain bin where I can get a pretty good look of my hunting land through the spotting scope.
I saw him again...... He's got a nice tall rack with a 15-16" outside spread, G2's are around 8'' G3's smaller. Not great mass. I'm guessing around 100" total score. My biggest Is and 8 that scores around 80''.
If I don't take him and my brother inlaw sees him slug hunting he's history. I would like to leave him untill next year.
How much will he gain in a Year?????
Who would wait and who would shoot????In my shoes.
Thanks for your imput,
