This morn. about 9,three does and a button buck fed by at 10 yds. from behind me.One doe kept starring behind them.I slowly turned and a 150+ 10 pt.was slowly following them.He stopped as I was drawing and looked behind him,he needed 2 steps for a clear shot,I looked behind him and 35yds. away was a huge massive 8 with 4-5 stickers160" anyway.I let the 10 walk by at 10yds. and just as the giant 8 hit my hole[10yds.] the button spooked by the first buck ran at my chip shot and and he took 4-5 bounds and ended up walking around me at 35yds.Had to watch them walk away.First come first served from now on!!!!!

You did the right thing, sometimes it just doesn't go a guy's way.  How many 160+ bucks does a guy get a crack at in a lifetime?

To get the big ones you have to pass the small ones, just so happened in your case "small" one was a 150 class buck...

Your first good shot is the one to take. I know the temptation is great to wait for that bigger guy but he will never come in. That first good shot was there for the taking.    Pat

I agree with Pat B, but the choice is totally up to you if you'd rather wait for another 10" of antler. To each their own.jmho
