I love photos & stories like this, "ya know he's a real good buck...but not quite ripe yet, he's got potential". WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? Call me crazy, call me immatuer, call me anxious, etc...I wouldn't even hesitate on a buck like that, but then again I'm not a 'trophy hunter' either. Granted we all want to take a monster or trophy buck at some point in our hunting career's, but the bottom line is meat in the freezer is more important to my family and I than antlers on the wall. Here's a philosphy I strive to live by while out on the hunt..."don't pass on the first day, what you'd settle for the last day". For me personally, a buck like that is the total package...JMHO.
