[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5797660, member: 2474"] Definitely a target buck guy, but usually have 2-3 each year that I'd shoot. If I kill one of them then I'm done for the year except killing couple does for meat. I wouldn't shoot one of the others if he walked up to me the next day. If it means that I go 3-4 years between bucks, that's very fine with me. My enjoyment is more hunting him than killing. At 70 years old, I've probably killed more than my fair share and eating tag soup just doesn't bother me. I certainly don't hunt as hard as I use too, but probably hunt more than most. Just came home from camp today and was there 28 days out of 31. Planning on going back first of week for rest of season. Had 3 this year on my list and a buddy killed #2 a couple days ago. I went back & looked at pics of #3 and decided he really could use another year, so he'll get a pass if I see him. Beginning to think that my #1 may be a ghost, but plan on sticking with him for rest of year. Really need a major wind shift as these E-SE ones are killing me 😂. Had him at 20 yards late last year & couldn't shoot... Have passed on four or five good 4+yr olds so far with no regrets whatsoever. Whatever the outcome is this year, I will have spent Nov-mid Jan hunting and it doesn't get any better imo. Have 3 grandsons that hunt with me and I get a much bigger thrill when they kill a good one, as opposed to me killing my target. [/QUOTE]
