whats your thoughts?

if you saw 3 bucks in the same canyone, one a 4x3 with 2 cheaters about 170, another a straight 4x4 heavy a solid 175 buck, and the last a monster, pushing 190 typical 4 with a little 3 in, inline.

would you guys take the 1st buck that presented it self or would ya pass the others in hopes of getting a crack at the big boy?
Im just curious to what others would do!

I've been there, done that and I've always have gone after the biggest one or the one I liked the best. I usually come home empty handed but at least I tried.

ill tell you what if you seen all 3 before you had to shot there is a big difference between 175 and 190. theres no way i could shoot something smaller if i now i might have a chance at a big boy.

The answer that you need is. Am I going to be happy with shooting a buck that presents a shot even though it may not be the buck that I want. If not then hold out for the buck that you would really kie to get. One nice thing to think about is these deer have already made through the rifle hunt a few times to get to that size so there is a good chance that they will be back next year. So if you don't get one of them this year I would say that you have a good chance that they will be back.

I would like to say I would shoot the one that presented the first shot. But, I think seeing all three I would probably try for the big boy.

Depends on how much time I had to hunt, if I still had a few days I would go after the big guy but if I only had a weekend to hunt I would take the first opportunity I had!

what if you could only shoot 2 deer in the next three years, would you still take one of the smaller bucks? no question id hammer the big one if given the chance!

nothing to hang your head about if you shoot a 170" buck with your bow.OR/ you will never shoot a monster if your tag is always cut on a smaller buck. :-k :-k i would hunt the big one and hope that i didn't run into one of the other deer along the way, that would be to hard to let them walk.

With Archery equipment, YES again take one if given the chance IMO.

Im with you, i hope i dont see the "lesser bucks" in range!!!!!!! I still to this day, am not sure what i will do if that happens. There is always "that chance" of running into the big guy!

but at the same time, like brett says, not a dang thing wrong with a 170 archery kill!

what to do, what to do

 i am not allowed to share my thoughts any more for fear of trying to persuade you that shooting anything less than the 190 class buck is a sin.

Try for the 190. Sounds like you have time to hunt, and don't need the meat. or you would have shot one already. If you don't get him in the end, just think about all the time you got to spend hunting.
