i have been hunting for 12 years now and this is only the 2nd buck i have ever shot, i shot this deer oct of last year, dont get me wrong im very proud the deer, itscored 169 3/4 but does it seem like im being to picky on what i shoot?

Unless you've been shooting red X's, I can't see the pictures.

Who am I to say? Shoot what makes YOU happy and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

Only you can answer that question.


It's not anyone elses decision to make.

I see the pics just fine, and that is an awesome deer. I don't see anything wrong with only shooting big bucks, and by that I don't mean that there is a special number that says what a big buck is, my view is if you wanna pay to get it mounted, shoot it, if not, let him go so he can grow!

Best post from you yet!!!

100% agree

Nice deer! Do what you wish.

Nice deer!

What kind of deer are you passing on?

i know many hunters that are like you, they only shoots the monsters,i think its a good thing because if you shoot the small ones they will never get that big.

My thoughts exactly. Nice deer.
