Man, would I like to live and hunt in an area where we pass up bucks like that! I can do it, but nobody else around here would pass a buck half that size.
I commend your restraint.
I would have a real hard time passing on that buck, but I would sure try. He's a dandy for sure and you are correct he's not quite mature yet. Should be a giant next year!! Kudos to you for passing him.
