Okay, so having never killed a buck, here is my dilemma:
I know there are 3 bucks working my small property (right now), a spike, a young 6, and a massive stud of a 10 point huge rack, easily 150 from comparing some of the "age/score" posts. Now, I saw the spike and the 6 when I was up there the opening week of archery and passed on both in hopes of seeing the stud. Took a doe, my first kill ever, for some meat and went back to Fla (not home, I was at home in the hills). I'm going back Nov 11 through as late as the 23rd, if need be. Now, do I take the shot on one of the younger bucks if the shot presents itself, or do I go back south with an unfilled buck tag? Obviously, I want something impressive on the wall and some more venison, but if I wouldn't mount it, do I shoot it? I'm not a TV personality or a professional hunter, nor do I plan to be one, so personally, the doe was a trophy to me. I know it's the "personal preference, you be the judge" stuff, but knowing I have eternal access to this small, unpressured piece of property, what would YOU do? shoot, or wait till next year?
