Late Tag Shooters?
« on: December 06, 2009, 10:03:30 PM »
Buck 1

Buck 2

Buck 3

What do you guys think. Waited all them years for your late tag, which one to do pass on and which one do you drop the hammer on? Or look for something bigger?

First Buck- I would last day as a cull buck to get him out of the gene pool.
Second buck   Can't see enough to know.  If he does not have depth (looks shallow) then no, but if decent depth and decent front forks...a maybe towards end of season...but only if front forks are good.  Again kill for a cull buck.
Third....if nothing better then maybe if I had a better view.  Looks good and tall with solid forks but narrow.   Would not kill last day if there was something better.  Only last day if he was mature and topped out or going down the other side.

Depends on the unit and the year...  First buck, definitely a shooter the last day for me.
Second buck, pass throughout the season, let him grow.
Third buck, really close to being a shooter any day of the season.  Depends on age class...

Depends on the Unit.....but with as many points as I have (including poacher points) and only putting in for 2 units......I would pass on all three.....

To me it just matters how many days I had to hunt left.  On the last day I would take anyone of them bucks.... they would be good in the freezer.

If I had some time left and matters which unit.
1st Buck. Pass
2nd Buck. Pass
3rd Buck.  This is a really hard one to let walk. He has good fronts and rears.... just one year away from being a wall hanger.   :twocents:  :)
