    Would you pass on this, to try for this:

    I have one week left before I go away to work all winter. I rattled in a nice WT this morning and reached for the camera instead of the rifle because I have a large elusive buck on my trail cams.. Sort of kicking myself because I might not get another opportunity. Should I have put the sights on him, or is patience the right choice and keep trying for the bigger deer?

    Private land with very dense bush so calling them out is the only way. Yes, there are farm buildings in the background but it would have been a safe shot. No neighbours for kms.

    I would have taken it. But I’m not as picky as others and don’t have the same amount of time to put towards hunting as some others.

    It is not, but the extra meat would be much appreciated in the family.

    I have to confess I belong to the "bone.....boom" group of hunters...............it's a character flaw I am living with

    put some bait out and draw in the does and the big guy will follow.....if you have the week off and can hunt every day from now until you leave I say you made a good choice, if you will only get out 1 or 2 more mornings/evenings before you go, well........I would probably have shot.

    can't shot a GREAT buck if you already filed your tag on a GOOD buck, then again, I have been told I'm too picky at times.
