I'll give you credit, it took real courage to pass on that beautiful 10 pointer. You had to know while you were doing it that you'd 2nd guess your choice about 5 million times. My guess is that you made the correct call. I really hope it pays off for you!

The only way I wouldn't shoot that buck.....is if he agreed to surrender and take his own life.

Otherwise.....I'm releasing my arrow.

Heck no, I'm popping his balloons. If I lived in the corn belt I may consider passing on him. Up here, that is a once every 10 yr. buck.

No way in #$% I'd let that one walk.....at least not with a bow.

i think i would have to let the air out of him he looks like a good buck but might grow bigger in the next couple of years if no one else hunts where you are.

Good luck with that one.

He gets a free pass by my stand. You'll get what your after eventually. But you never would if you don't let some of the nice ones walk.

KBacon...nope!

do what is in your heart/.., you must know of some bigger bucks or the genics around there otherwise you would have shot ., me on the other hand i would have shot him.,

Well i could be really wrong but i dont think he looks like very BIG buck, Lie he is a nice one but in the pictures TO ME kinda looks like a decent nice size deer.
And i could be wrong about just because alot of people are sayin shoot it.
But to me i would have to really think about it. if i new there were bigger ones around i would let him walk but if that was the biggest or close to then i would take him.
buthe sure if a nice deer!!
