I passed on the non typical world record whitetail, I drew on him and was just about to shoot and then I thought to myself "wait, if I shoot this buck I can never ever hope to top this one" so I let in my draw and admired this admiral of the woods as he walked on by likethe prince of the forest he was.

But seriously, I've passed (past)on dozens of 130-140 class bucks, don't think I'll ever get to the point where I can let a 150" buck walk...

i passed one about 115" with a bow ( i should've shot it.), and sevral around 120"-130" with gun. but with bow anything over 100 is usually going to be shot at.

What is the biggest buck you have let walk that was within range and you had a good shot at. Mine was a low 150's 10pt next was a 147 3/8 8pt I found both sets of sheds and I guessed his spread at 18 in to come up with this measurement

My God, what have you shot? [:-]
I was thinking the same thing. It dont matter how many deer I shoot, I couldn't ever see myself passing up a 130 class let alone a 150

I've passed on two bucks that "might" push 70".

I've only seen two larger bucks, from stand,in my woods in 4 seasons.
