If I'd shoot it with both sides, I'd shoot it with one.
I am thoroughly amused by all of the "mature" buck hunters who say that their #1 goal is to take a "mature" deer - but then supposedly are willing to pass up a banger buck with a beam knocked off.
But then again, I'm thinking that 90 percent of this is pure b.s. - your run of the mill internet bullchit spewed by the guys who never get anything, but invariably proclaim themselves to be"passing up" good deer all the time, because they're waiting out "the big one." LOL

I'm not shooting. For me it's about the antlers. When I want some meat I shoot a doe, they taste better.

I have had this happen to me in Kansas last year and i didnt shoot. I did take some pictures though. Had he matched he would have gone over 160" but just broke off after the G-2 on the left side. He was only 70 yards away when i took this pic.

Next year, next year, next year.......I wish there were some good stats on the probability of seeing the same deerthe next year. I might see if I can find anything on that topic.
