Shoot what makes you happy! Or, you could reword that to "Pass up what makes you happy!"

Shoot what makes you happy! Or, you could reword that to "Pass up what makes you happy!" I agree with that logic as well. Funny how they can go together.
but to answer the guys ?. i would shoot the 165 in a heartbeat, but if it would have been a more realistic question then my answer would have been very different

If you had a choice of killing a 6.5 year old 110" buck in
Tennessee or killing a let's say, a 165" 3.5 year old buck, wich
one would you pick. Be honest now!
might shoot both
both got big horns and I a horn hunter.

The % of hunters that would pass on a 165" buck in any state "0". Anyone can say what they want but, I ain't buying it for a second. If they don't pull the trigger on a buck that size they are either out of buck tags or ammo.
Is that what were convincing hunters to do now, so Tn will be more like state X? LMBO

Thanks Wes, I understand what you are saying. The reality of the deal is that most couldn't afford to pass a 165 anywhere in Tn, mainly because very few would have a fair chance at ever seeing him again. Most don't have enough acreage to take that kind of chance. Now, if I had harvested several bigger deer here in Tn., then maybe. You must really have some self control. Especially here in our home state. My hat's off to you!

I knew it was a no brainer question for most Tennessee hunters,
and I would kill the 165 also. The more I think about it though,
the 6.5 year old 110" buck would be a very, very, unusual trophy
any where their are Whitetail Deer that are hunted on a regular
basis.
In my opinion, any deer that gets pass 4.5 is a "ghost deer".
Especially in a normal hunting pressured area.
