[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5206592, member: 1409"] IMO, it is often a greater learning experience, more enjoyable at the moment, and more rewarding [I]LATER,[/I] when you pass up a "nice" buck on a particular outing. About the[I] ONLY[/I] actual hunting strategy you can "plan" and up your odds for getting a larger antlered buck is to [I]NOT [/I]shoot a smaller antlered buck [I]BEFORE[/I] either a larger antlered one comes along, or the one you pass can have another year to become what you're after more. I've personally been amazed at how often I almost shot a particular borderline buck, but didn't, then a few minutes later that better one came along. [B][I]THAT, TOO![/I][/B] Also, I suspect the 2-buck limit has done much to lean many hunters thoughts towards letting more top-end young bucks walk? When the limit was 3 or more, fewer hunters were as willing to let a "nice" buck walk (never mind they had a wall full of "nice" and similar ones)? [/QUOTE]
