re: How Many Deer Could You Have killed This Year, but Chose to Pass ?

We talking does and bucks, or bucks only? If talking about just shooting a deer, I could have killed a lot. I don’t know a number, but there have only been a handful of times when I couldn’t have killed a deer. But most times it wasn’t the right deer, and I don’t like shooting does when I am trying to hunt a particular buck. I don’t really keep up with my hunts like I should, but I think I have seen 8 three year old or better bucks this season that I could have killed, and killed 3 of them. Two of them were 4 years old or better. One I regret, a 3 year old 8 point in bow season, but the other two were good deer. Unfortunately I have killed my 3 bucks in Alabama now and am done right as the rut is prime where I hunt. I will take the bow a few times and go doe hunting. And if I feel like fooling with one I may shoot one or two.
