I know with rifle hunts, you can pick and choose more than archery, and i have heard people say to never pass on a bull you wouldn't on the last day if you had an archery tag. Everyone has there own opinion and decision on wether to shoot or pass. I have been on hunts when people have passed and i thought they should have shot, and i have been on hunts when they have shot and i thought they should have passed. Sometimes you have to pass on good bulls to kill great bulls. But my question is how many of you have passed on bulls that you regret not shooting? Seems a lot of people pass on bulls with archery tags and end up killing a smaller bull later in the hunt or eat there tag hoping for something bigger. I had a freind pass on a bull at 15 yards opening morning of the wasatch archery hunt, and never get an opportunity again at a bull like that. And i had a friend find a bull in july and was determined to kill that bull. He passed on many bulls, and ended up killing that bull on the last day of the hunt after hunting it for 20 plus days. Do you set your standards before you go and hold to them? Or would you shoot something smaller than you hoped for if you had a good shot? Have you ever passed when you wish you didn't? What hunting experiences have you had?
