Milo Hanson Buck - would you pass?
From everything I've read, the Milo Hanson buck was only 3.5-4.5 years old. On the hunting shows, they usually pass up bucks until they are 6.5 years old - especially ones with great genetic potential.
So, did the Hanson buck get shot before it reached it's potential? Would many people pass on it and let it mature another couple years?

I could care less about age and inches of bone! That is wat is ruining hunting, along with the so called experts on the hunting shows who have areas prescouted by others and stands put up by others and hunt over feeders inside fenced properties. If an animal is legal and big enough to suit me, I will kill it and never even thik to measure the antlers. In fact I would rather shoot a big older doe than a buck and I my opinion an old doe is smarter than an old buck. All of this crap about what will it measure makes me want to puke!

anybody, trophy hunter or not is going to shoot that buck if they have a tag. the area the buck was harvested is about 45 minutes away from my home. the area overall is fairly heavily hunted so a deer like that likely wouldn't make it 2 more years anyway.

I know not one person on here who is telling the truth would pass on that deer thinking it might or might not get bigger in a Yr. or so. I don't think even Lee or Tiffany Lacosky would give it another year in fear of someone else shooting it before them. it was just a deer if you saw it your mind automatically said shoot.
