Help me feel better
I was a sportsmanon openingand didn't shoot the spike buck that walked underneath my deer stand; hoping he will grow up to be a trophy. Afterwords I found that everyone hunting the woods I was in is shooting spike bucks.

IMO you did the right thing even though it's hard to do. I have killed two doe(1 bow & 1 muzzleloader) and have passed on several spikes and forkhorns, so I understand your frustration.

I have passed on a fork horn and a spike this year. Both broadside within 10-12 yards. And I havent even taken a buck with my bow yet, only a doe. its all about what will make you happy

RE: Help me feel better
I've past on some small bucks over the years hoping they'll become bigger bucks the following year . Then you hear the guys in the woods that boarders the woods you hunt in to open fire i don't know for sure if they get all that they shoot at but I've never seen them again .One was a small drop tine 7 pter, first drop tine I've ever seen in the woods . This year is the worst year for me ,I've been out alot and only seen 4 doe's and one small 3pter, Normally i have doe's and bucks coming in al around me but not this year just about to hang it up for the year.
