I never pulled the trigger this season but hammered a decent one and then let a good up and comer walk last season. That was the first good racked buck that I’ve let walk. Felt funny at the time but I don’t regret it and would do the same thing now. Thankfully we’ve got a freezer full of meat.

I let two walk. It was prime rut here and a doe come in 10 yards. I thought since it’s the rut and I knew they were moving that I would wait to see if a buck followed here in. Two minutes later here he come a basket rack 4 point at 10 yards🤦♂️

I've never regretted letting a buck walk. I have regretted misjudging one and shooting one below my personal standards once er twice.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I let a pretty good one walk. It was one of the best hunts I've ever been on. Seen deer all day, seen bucks chasing does. That hunt had it all.

I've never regretted letting a buck walk. I have regretted misjudging one and shooting one below my personal standards once er twice. Add to that letting one walk only to be killed later by someone else. Then and after you get your hands on him you want to kick your own arse cause he was a better buck than you thought
