i have a hard time letting any buck over 100" walk, since ive killed 6 deer, and my biggest is around 105"
i can let the little ones walk all day long, but when they get more respectable, i have a tough time
not that any deer is not respectable though

130 is what I would like mycutoff to be... though I shot one last year that barely cleared 120 due to a weaker side that I didn't notice when he was broadside to me. I thought he was mid- to high-120's.

Negative....

I've let a fewwalk that were in the 100 range, simply b/c they were 2 year olds.... In my area, anything over 100 is a pretty dang good bow buck.

100" around here is big. We don't get too many this size even.

125" to 130" has always been where I draw the line and let them walk. 140" would be getting an arrow. If some day I can let a 140" buck walk, that must mean I'm doing something right being I know I'll get a crack at something bigger.

A 140" buck in my hunting area would be a top end buck, he'd be for a bad time.

I do not have access to land that would afford me the opportunity to let a 140" buck walk. Would be nice though.
