Awesome blacktail
When I was younger it was all about filling my tag. The sooner the better. Now for me it's about getting a mature buck. The longer that takes the better. In 2011 I decided i was only shooting big/mature bucks for the same reasons you did.  Since then I get one about every other year. Last year I had my favorite hunting season yet, and didn't fill my tag. Had plenty of opportunities,  but nothing I wanted to end my season on.
  Great write up also.

  definitely agree its not just about filling a tag anymore for me its all about the hunt and the adventure and the cat and mouse games one plays with a wise old buck, the ones you usually comes out on the short end of the stick more times than not.... lol
