I passed a 130 inch 10 point and 140 inch 8 point this weekend. Hopefully that won't haunt me but was hoping for something a little bigger. Plus, I start a 10 day hunting vacation this Friday. I saw a few fighting this weekend so hopefully the big boys will be moving soon!

The biggest that I have legit given a pass to was a 2.5 year old 7 with a neat rack, next year he will be really cool. I have only seen one shooter and that was on Monday at closing time, too far, too dark. I will being hoping to meet up with him again tomorrow night.

I passed a yearling 6. He looked like he'd be something wall-worthy in a couple years. I also passed a 2 1/2 high-racked 8. I've been wishing I didn't now, but I really didn't think I had that good of a shot. I guess I passed him for 2 reasons; size and clear shot. That yearling gave me a beautiful broadside pose at about 10 yards and again a maybe 8 yards. If it was a doe, it would be in my freezer right now.

So far this season ive seen around 15 rack bucks and had about 10 of them in range and passed on them all. The biggest was probably around 110-115 inch 8 point, which i actually came to full draw on, but at the last moment, i caught a glimpse of a larger buck behind him. Unfortunately he never came out.

I had the oppurtunity to harvest a 10 pt. with around a 16" spread he appeared to be a 2.5 yr old deer, but I have seen this(see link) so I will hold for a while. http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff6/jrhankins_photos/icam0115.jpg
