9 point 15 yards

man it was tempting. He hopped the fence between two fields and walked right past me. I shot one similar to him last year, and he just wasn't what I wanted, plus he has a lot of potential to grow huge one day. Maybe next year...

yea I feel like it sometimes. That is 3 decent two year olds I passed this year that I would have shot last year. I will know when I see the buck I want and only hope I can make a good shot instead of carrying my bow when I should have had the rifle, lol

You'll know it when you see the one as there will be no doubt. Good luck!

The buck had Some sort of injury just before his right ham.

 

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

Good decision

 

[TNDeerGuy]

Nice call bud, I would have a very, very hard time passing that one up if I had a bow in hand.

 

[Bgbuckhntr84]

Looked to be a big body buck too

 

[Snake]

Kudos to you Catman probably would have sent a ballistic tip his way .

Yep, the first few years I hunted, any of them were it. Now, if I have to think about it, I don't shoot.

It is crazy how you just "know"

Great video cat!

 

[tree_ghost]

Good footage Cat!!! I agree he looks like a 2.5 yo with a ton of potential...could you tell if he broke off his brow tines or were they just little nubs.??

Good deal! It's bucks like that, if allowed to walk, that may be the ones that really fire you up the following year. I always feel like I just planted that seed whenever I watch them walk away.

 

[TreyB]

Good luck on seeing him again... I would have had to put that one down.

 

[muddyboots]

Beautiful 2 1/2 year old buck. Ive seen a ton of those the last few years. Great encounter.

 

[mathews338]

very cool, hope it pays off for you!

 

[tree_ghost]

one thing people often don't understand.... is that having a camera in hand makes it much easier to pass a deer thats right on the cusp like this.

Having the video, being able to share it, is just as rewarding as holding it in your hands. (Sometimes! ha)

i agree 100%

Nice deer, maybe you will be the one to get him next year.

 

[Bone Collector]

Did you bump your head? are you running a fever? :lol:

Hopefully he will be around next year. his brows may develop and he may be a stud.
