I would never pass on a 130" ever. I have my own size guidelines and 130 is above them. And there is some some exceptions on small Racks if there crazy looking enough.

RE: Let him go? Gimme a break!
I was guessing around there He is STILL at the taxidermist I'm supposed to get him back in two weeks. I never thought twice about shooting that buck, that is the biggest buck I've ever seen in real life on the hoof. not sure how old he was but he was getting on up there.
I have yet to get a deer with my bow, I had a 7 or 8 jump the string on opening day and two timesI've had does bolt while I was at full draw waiting for a shot. Since I've let a fork horn and a 7 pointer walk I'd just rather shoot a doe than a younger deer I'm trying to get the number of bucks up as high as possible (maybe daddy squezzed off one one two more before I got to him) one of the does I was going to shoot had two button bucks.

and the 130" 5x4 he passed last year, put on about 30+" of antler and is now a 160 class 5x6
I'm not trying to start trouble here, I'm just trying to fathom 30" of antler growth in one year...

30" in a year? I would say that would be a minimum amount of antler growth. IMO.
