Passed up a Giant buck

[truhuntr]

Ok! So I experienced the worst thing ever yesterday. Let me preface this by saying that my largest buck to date is 173". So yesterday during the evening hunt in Ohio I see a 200+ buck tending a doe at around 150 yards and they appear to keep working their way my direction. All the while I have a 180+ walk within 20 yards. So I passed him. I've never experienced buck fever to that degree before and now I sit in camp hating that I may have blown a chance at the biggest buck of my life for another biggest buck if my life. Let's see what this morning brings. Just had to vent.

[dope hunter]

How about making this a live hunt! I hope you stick a big'un!

[czechaholic]

Good luck

[TopNoc]

Man that's a tough one to take. Good luck

[MarkV]

Wow. That would have been tough to do. Anymore details of the hunt?

[Widowmaker]

Livin'n a dream right now,soak it all in and good luck to you on one of those midwest monsters!

[JSAPP]

I can't even

[PBUCKSHOT]

Sorry bud but I find it really, really hard to feel bad for anyone that has to even think twice about passing up a mature monster like that. I'm thinking you gonna be just fine. J/k Good luck man

[Mossback]

One in the hand is better than 2 in the brush!! Tough decision, think I'd went with the closest one with bow in hand

[Skinny]

Hey you did the right thing. That 200" is still in the area.

[DoubleGArchery]

Stay at it you will get him, good luck.

[Atfulldraw]

I think you got the plus part right....

he is tough to pass up.

Big question is, will you pass him again?

[Etxbuckman]

Sounds like you got good problems. Biggest buck I've seen this season is 2.5 yr old 80" class 8-point so I can't feel too sorry for you

That big guys probably still in the area though. Good luck to you
