This yr has been miserable for me seeing quality deer. Seeing lots of does and dinks . Finally saw a decent one this morning and passed him up. He was o so close to getting shot , but just needed to be a bit bigger .

He was pretty nice and he came right in to the grunt which was neat. I just ain't killed a 140+ in a few yrs. Trying to get back in the groove and quit shooting130" deer. It was a little tempting tho .

I bet that was tempting! I'd have shot that sucker and spent the next couple of months wishing I hadn't ... but I promise you I would have shot him dead!:) Glad you are getting on some good ones now, they are really starting to get worked up.

He sure looks good in that pic, but I'd have done the same knowing he wasn't 140. I'd love to break that mark and it won't happen if I settle. Good luck finding something that gets your blood boiling!!!

I agree and am in the same boat. Would of been tough to let him walk though.
