In hunting, you can do everything right, and still fail. And that's ok.
As for the bucks, I would say those bucks are average. Your standard couple years old bucks.
Things in BC have changed over the years. I dont think monster mulies are hitting the ground like they used to in the mid 2000s and earlier. I think the record book entries would probably confirm that.
I would say a BIG buck nowdays is 170" or better.
HUGE WOULD BE 180 or better.
I wont pass on anything that looks 150+
