110-120" 8pt that walked a trail broadside in front of me at about 15yds two weeks ago. He was clearly a 2-1/2 yr. old that had very good potential. Hopefully see him in a year or two and gives me the same shot. LOL

I've passed a couple of 6s and 2 different 8s. I came to full draw on another different 8 that was probably 100"-110". It was right close to dark and I didn't feel comfortable with the shot, so I let down.

I don't doubt your "passes" at all, Scott. I actually had you in mind when I wrote the thread. I wanted to know how it was going for you. Good luck, buddy.
He has excellent potential.... The farm was in winter wheat (bare all summer) so if he is still around next year he will get a healthy dose of beans or corn
Actually this year has started rather poorly in comparison to years past... I haven't saw nearly the number of decent to good bucks this year.

Wish I could say that I passed on one. I've seen one decent eight point which was too far, but if he would have been closer I don't think I would have passed.

I passed on what I would say was a 130 to 140 8pt on opening weekend. It probably was 120 to 130 but it is my story. I stand by my choice not to shoot as of right now and if I see him next year I will feel better also.

Passed on a couple of 100-115" 8s a couple years ago on a outfitter hunt. Never saw one bigger.
Should have taken one!
Both the biggest bucks I personally have ever had in bow range.
