As most have already said goodjob on passing on the smaller one.  Thats how it goes.  THere is always next year.  I hear you about the streak, I hit number 27 in a row this year.  There for awhile, probably about 20 or so, it seemed like there was a lot of pressure to tag one just to keep the streak alive.  Now I really don't think about it.  You'll probably enjoy next year just that much more.

An uncle of mine who lived in the imnaha unit in oregon, and has killed numerous trophy deer and elk had a simple rule for himself, he didn't shoot it unless it was bigger than the previous years animal, needless to say, some of the animals were amazing and his streaks didn't last long, I sure as hell don't have that kinda discipline

I'm currently trying that with elk.  Try to explain to your family why you let several 300+  bulls walk.  Not sure I'll have the perservearance to keep that up.  I like elk meat.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Im working on my 9 year streak without a dear so I guess Im pretty well over the feeling of not getting one.  I figure I still got a month left to give 'em hell though.  Just lets me stay in the woods long if I dont tag out early.

i think where im at over hear in the walla walla/clyde area should be 2 point min. there are so many huge muley 2 points over here its not even funny. i know that people would take advantage of it and shoot the smaller bucks but it sure would be nice to get those big 2 point genetics out of here.
