I have a little history with a very good buck on my property!!! Last year I had him at 12 yds for about 7 minutes and he wouldnt turn broadside. I made my mind up last year not to take a quartering to shot as I see them on tv and just cringe.

So I wasnt happy to let him get away last year but this year he shows up and boy was I happy he got away.

I have a 166",155" 3 140"'s and a couple 130"s. I also have some nice bucks on camera. I pretty much know what I am going to do this year as far as just wait on the big one or shoot a good un'. My queation would you hold out just for the big guy or shoot another one you would be proud of? The next pics are my other options.

These bucks are all mid 130"s to maybe close to 150". I am excited and just wanted other peoples opinion on Wait for the biggest or shoot one you would be proud of. I have alot of pics from last year of all these bucks and didnt kill a deer. If I didnt have a pic of the biggest buck all would be shot on sight and still probably will be because I have hunted long enough to know it aint easy to kill a mature buck. Sorry for the long post. I will also be in Zone 4 early Nov. trying to fill a tag ther also. Anybody want to swap a hunt? Sorry for the long post but I am ready for season to open. Doug
