Smart move. Can’t pass that buck.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I think I posted this buck before on the forum but don't remember where? This is the only photo I have, taken by the newspaper, I didn't have a camera with me when we were hunting. I was in my teens, I had watched this buck many times through the summer and was lucky enough to see him on the second Saturday of early season. A single texas heart shot as he was running straight away, but he went a little ways and it took an hour to find him, one of the worst hours of my life. After watching him through the summer and then being able to find him during season, this is still one of my most prized trophies.

There were two other bucks of roughly equal size with him, but my friend (on his first day going hunting ever) got buck fever and tried to shoot but forgot to take off his safety.

Awesome buck! Curious how the mass measurements would be done on a deer like that with double eye guards? I have a deer with similar stuff going on

That is pretty awesome! So much character, the genetics in the NE corner are definitely there is the animals are given enough time.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
