I already filled my buck tags this year (allowed 2 in my state)and was very greatful. Last week, I got back in the stand to take a doe and a 170 inch buck presents a great shot. I was so tempted. A minute after he passed, a nice antlerless deer walked by and gave me a shot. Food on the table!!

I tell all the guys I hunt with the same thing: If you think you are the only one looking over the barrel of that gun or down the shaft of that arrow thats when you need to be on your best behavior.
I love to hear stories of guys and gals who do it right when they know no one else is looking over their shoulder. I wish there were a tall shiny trophy for every time it happened.

You did the only thing you could do. Even if it was a new world record if you shot it illeagly you are nothing more than a poacher. In the future you may want to keep one of those buck tags in your pocket. But on the other hand it's tough to eat a unfilled buck tag when you could have filled it. I know I have been in both spots !

I hate when that happens lol! I killed a spike my first year bowhunting 3rd day of the season and had a 160" pearl white 10 point walk by mere yards TWICE during late season. sniff. He sure was purdy! I just watched him. Never did see him again. It is what it is lol.

A couple of years ago I shot a buck early in the season. Like you I was doe hunting and a 160" 8 point buck walked by me at 8 yards. I just looked and admired him. About a week later my son in law got a shot at him.
