Still, it's the way I choose to hunt and I'm comfortable with all my decisions.
You are a better man than I Steve. I don't think I can take it another year. My wife kept telling me "I know you are just nasty because you haven't shot a deer" Haha. Next season I'm slinging some arrows. It will be better on my marriage.

That was a great post TJ.  Very few people would have been able to pass on that 6x6.  Hopefully, he made it through the gunners.  He'll really be something next season!

Great story and wonderful pictures!  Even though you didn't get the buck that was on your "hit" list, you will have a very memorable season.  Thanks for sharing!
