I think I would have had to eat not getting it on film. I'm pretty sure everyone would have understand.

WOW Mike, kudos,

camera be damned I would have sent an arrow his way for Christmas!

2 during bow season. He used his gun tag on the second one.

I suppose I can understand your decision based on wanting to hunt soley on film as the camera shots are entertaining and all, but hunting is hunting and personally I would have cashed in on the rare opportunity that was given to you. In any case, I can surelyrespect your decision and sticking to your plan.I hope yougetanother chance at him.

You must really enjoy shooting deer with the Video camera! That deer would of had an arrow coming his way, hell with that camera![8D]

There's no way I could of let that buck walk because of low camera light! Wow! Good luck on seeing him again!

Guys, you arent making me feel good about my decision!!! hahaha

But seriously, if i didnt think i would get another oportunity at this deer, i wouldnt have let him walk.

Now wish me some luck darnit!

What happened to old Ribcage? Any recent pics/sightings?

You passed up the biggest buck of your life because of a camera shot!!??

You know that after the shot and recovering the buck you can turn the light on the camera. It's been done before.

Not trying to be rude, but I don't get it, you either love filming deer more than killing them (nothing wrong with that) or you are getting paid for the camera shots which makes this your job? (nothing wrong with that either)

Whatever, it's a great buck and I hope you get another chance at him with good camera light.

Good luck on getting a second chance on him. No way I would have passed on him, camera or not.
