We passed on some big ones... ya know, to help the herd

Having never hunted the Entiat I spent a lot of time searching hunt-wa, and did some scouting before the hunt. with the weather coming in I felt really good about the hunt, then for the first three days after Thanksgiving all I see is does and fog. I had to come home for a couple of days now time is getting short so when I see this guy at 40 yd, I did not hesitate.
Got checked by forest service LE the on first weekend, and by WDFW on Wednesday, it must be about the area ? can't imagine 25 bow hunters drawing the attention ?
