Passing on nice bucks is a personal decision. Some times it works out, most of the time it doesn't. People should be able to shoot any buck they want. Just don't complain to me that you can not find a 180 if you can not lay off of a three year old 160.My personal belief is that passing on nice bucks is basically just grandstanding. If you don’t shoot that deer then someone else probably will. Stop acting like you are god and your almighty decision will change the future. Now we can encourage everyone to change their behavior and that would be effective but to be realistic that just won’t happen. If you want to make a difference then get involved in conservation and lobby your game commission to control harvest in a way to promote the growth of big deer.
