RE: What deer would you pass up!
I guess it depends on how you classify your deer.
I picked three point.
As in three points on one side.
I would pass a 3x3 unless it was wide, tall, and had good mass.
Washington state has a three point minimum, but I've set the standard myself for only taking 4x4's or better. Probably why I've yet to shoot a buck.

I agree with hoyt, I have seen some really massive 6 pointers. I have two twin( I think they are twins) 4 pointers behind my house and they have more mass than 80 percent of the deer I have seen. I would not shoot one either. I always try to think that next year they might be monsters or the year after.

I have fewer options. Arkansas has a three point rule (three points on one side) throughout the state and up to five points in certain management areas. So, if it is a legal buck, I ain't passing it up! Besides, I've yet to find a decent recipe for antlers.

I didn't vote. I've passed up all of the above and some. One I do regret now looking back was a 14 point. I was a great moring in a place we call buck run. I had some nice 8's around all morning long with a half a dozen smaller bucks. The 14 point walked right by with in about 10 yrds. I didn't shoot him because of his rack. The left was huge the right was only about 2/3 of the left. So I let him walk. It was easy to do because I had a huge 10 point about 150 yrds away all morning just running up and down the golf course about 10 yrds in the woods. He never did come down to where I was. It was still a great morning.

If it's legal I'll take it. Depending on the area I'm hunting the buck has to have either 3 or 4 points on a single side to make him legal. Unless he's a button buck.
