The One I Let Go----How Big?

Founder · Nov 11, 2004

Checkout this video clip of one of the bucks I let go on opening day this year. I let this buck go twice on opening day and again on the 3rd day. Was holding out for Mr. Giant, but as is the case more often than not, I didn't get him.
Couldn't turn this buck up either later in the hunt, but ended up taking a good one on the last day.

How big is he? Notice the 4 inch cheater on his right side. Am I a fool for letting him go?

I would love to see the buck you were hoping for. I don't think your a fool. You knew there was a bigger one in your hunting area, and you've probably killed many big ones, so why not enjoy the hunting for Mr. Giant?
Great video, I felt right there!

Well, you may not have put a bullet in him, but you did "get him". Sweet video of a great buck.

I hope you tagged out on a bigger buck there mister. You are gonna have nightmares of letting that big boy go if you ended the season empty handed

Brian, that is a dandy buck!! I can only rough guess that he is well into the 190's gross. I didn't look close enough to see how many nontyp points he has, but with the couple cheaters I could plainly see he has to near 200 gross. Doesnt he? Or am I off base?

Congrats on filming and passing a super buck!

Brian,

That is a real nice buck, hurry and send me the GPS setting before bobcatbessy asks. Anyway, he is a nice buck and with luck he will be there for you next year.

Very nice buck Brian that's for sure! I doubt I could have kept from shooting him. You may regret not taking the buck this year but one of these days you will be very glad you learned to control your trigger finger. Good job! Your buck of a lifetime is getting closer and closer every day.

Good luck!

I would have let the lead fly! Of course, you may have many much larger bucks to your name than I.

I have the stupid dial up behind the times internet connection... but the buck looked like a good one from what I could see.
Like another has said, you have more big bucks to your wall than I do as well. I probably would have shot that one.
Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Jerry
