Title: Passed on a Two Point
Post by: jimkrueg on October 26, 2010, 12:20:59 PM: i called in sick today just to go hunting. Made a two hour hunt in the pouring rain and saw nothing. Jumped back in the truck and started driving around and saw a two point. He was about forty yards and I decided to pass on him. i watched him bed down so i know where he is at. After my son gets out of school I'm going to ask him if we should go back and get the two point or wait for a bigger buck. I also have a multi-season permit. What would you do? I already have a black tail that scored a 135.

But since it's a two point and who knows it might be gone when we go back. The 135 black tail was shot a few years ago so I still have my tag. Just to clarify my situation.

Yup, you still have a lot of time, I'd hold off, unless you know there arent many more like him out in your area

Post by: jimkrueg on October 26, 2010, 04:29:15 PM: Thanks for all the input guys. We decided to leave him alone and let him grow bigger. My son and I are going back out Sat. and Sun looking for a mature buck. Good luck to all. We still have late rifle and late archery too.
