RE: OK here is a scenario.... What would you do?
There's no question here. I'd wait for the monster buck to get in range and offer a shot. That may not materialize, but if you shoot at either one of the other deer, you KNOW he's gone and you may have just used your last buck tag anyway. If he comes your way -- like he should, you're golden. If not, he's still in the area you're hunting for another day possibly..
