In an average year, I will pass up 10-20. mostly little bucks, a couple 2-3 yr olds.

I've only actually shot at 3 bucks in the past 5 seasons, killed all 3 - a 132" in 1999, a 124" in 2001 and then a 140" in 2002. Only saw 1 "shooter" buck last year, but he was a MONSTER, 160 class, biggest buck I've EVER seen. Just didn't get close enough .So, that's the way it is where I hunt in Eastern Oklahoma. I have iced about 20 does in that time, however. Shooting does helps with my "backstrapitis"

Last year I passed up about 15 +/- bucks. Took a shot at a 8 point, I missed but the neighbor got later in the season, turned out to be 4 1/2 years old. That was the only shot I took bowhunting.

Typically, I'll pass on 20-30 shots a year. Our property has an 8pt rule so we let a lot of scrub bucks go.

I guess I usually pass about 15-25 shots a year at small bucks. Unless it is big enough to mount, I'm not shooting it. I'd rather shoot a doe or two or three.

Passed on a couple of dandys last year waiting for 1 particular big buck that my friend and I had been scouting since early September. That buck was shot on someone else's property in Mid November. I won't be making that mistake this year!

Last fall I passed up 7 or 8 small bucks. I never did get a shot at anything with a good rack but I got a doe for the freezer.
