Board has been rather slow lately. So I got to thinking. Read the whole post before answering.
The pictures break the story up a little so bare with me here.

Here is the Scenario. You are hunting some where in the heartland. It is 7:15 AM on Nov. 3rd
right in the middle of the rut.

You have this buck and this doe broadside at 25 yards......


But you catch movement 100 yards back down the trail where they just came from seconds
ago and you spot this big boy.



This big boy has his nose to the ground is scent trailing the doe. The doe is standing
right next to the smaller buck.... The smaller buck is obviously getting nervous from the sight
of this buck and may bolt any second. Probably running the doe off in the process. Past
experiences have taught him he is a subordinate to this dominate buck.

So here is the question?

What would you do? Shoot the sure thing very respectable P&Y smaller buck or the doe who
are still 25 yards broadside?

Or hold out for a shot on the "once in a lifetime" big boy who is 100 yards away closing in fast?

Let me hear it... What would YOU do?
