[QUOTE="JJ3, post: 5779733, member: 7325"] Be thankful and relive the hunt! Last year I killed a couple of 2.5 yr 8 pts that were chasing does. Both were exciting hunts, but I definitely relaxed by standards in the moment. Tuesday I was out to kill a doe (I had killed a really nice 8 pt 2 weeks ago), but had a nice looking buck right at legal. I convinced him to stay in the field with me for 5 minutes to legal and then shot just as he was about to exit. When I went to look at him 20 min later, I was a disappointed because he was not as big as I thought, and he was a 9 pt that my daughter told me not to shoot — it was hers. It was a small bodied young deer at 3.5, but turns out my #3 or 4 deer at 134” gross. I still kind of wished I had let him walk to see if my daughter could have taken him or to let him grow another year. But it was still a good hunt and I’m grateful. [/QUOTE]
