Last winter bow in Colliers Mills I had this buck come in I passed on him. I want to know what other members would have done. I hunted him hard this year and didn't get him if he makes it through this week and doesn't run out in front a buick he will be bigger next year.   __________________ Vice President Ocean County Federation Of Sportsmans Club Life Member UBNJ NAHC NRA Member Black Knight Bowbenders

I think I actually know this buck, I had him on my cams too.
As a half rack I'd have passed, but both sides...last year in the Mill I'd probably have shot...considering it's public land. |

| The one thing to notice is, he didn't grow much between 1/07 and 1/08...what did he put on...5-10 inches? He'll be bigger, but he isn't going to go be a giant slammer next year. But again, as a half rack, I'd pass on him this year in hopes of getting him with both sides next year. | ||

This year the buck would have scored above 140" it has about an 19" inside spread next year it will be 4 1/2 years old so he will be reaching his prime I've been after him now for three seasons __________________ Vice President Ocean County Federation Of Sportsmans Club Life Member UBNJ NAHC NRA Member Black Knight Bowbenders

| Ken, you made the right call passing on him. Did you ever find any of his sheds from last year? | ||

You made the right choice, passing on him as a 1/2 rack deer.
I agree he looks like a tired old timer. Even if you never see him again, & he succumbs over the winter, by giving him a "pass" you've allowed him to pass on his genes to future generations of piney woods deer.

| I would have passed on a half rack. The only thing is, on public property you run the risk of never seeing him again. Without a doubt though, I would pass him on private. Not so sure about public though. | ||
