I'm just curious, how many of you havehunting land that allows you to let a legitimate 140" buck walk. I've been hunting for a long time and can honestly say that I've only seen 1-2 legit bucks of this caliber. So needless to say if one comes within range I'm flining a arrow at him.

Tex that's a great buck. I'm sure that it will pay off for you. It just got me wondering yesterday when I was watching Lee & Tiffany that they let so many bucks walk each year and I commend them for their diligence but I don't see me ever being able to do that hunting where I do.

RE: Letting bucks walk.....
I have one hunting spot where I would let a 140" walk. The rest of my spots, my goal is 130" or better. For the last two seasons my goal was 145+ and I've been lucky, the highest that I let go was a 136. It will be hard because a 140 is a pretty big buck.
