I passed up on this buck last year. I just couldn't do it standing by my garage, it just didn't seem fair. But, he made it and is back again. He was much better last year.

Last year. The first pic is just after I lowered my bow.

Here he is this year.

More self control than I certainly have. Last year's cheater was awesome.

I wouldn't blame you for killing him but I certainly appreciate that you let him walk.

He's been keeping the other little bucks away all day. Here are a few more.

Way to show respect to the animal, he's a really nice buck though!

Good to keep the neighbors happy, but a perfectly legal deer, in a perfectly legal season? Go for it.

Great ethics on your part. I mean who wants to shoot a yard pet? You could use a rocking chair cushion for camo.
I think you showed good restraint and ethics. Besides, he could be bigger next year and then.....lol. fatrascal
