Finally! It pays to pass some up!

I was very patient this archery season and It paid off greatly! For the first time ever I passed up at least ten different 8-10 point bucks with 15 inch or wider spreads and I bagged this 8 point with a 18 1/2 inch inside spread, 21 inch main beams and 8 inch tines. For the first time in many years I was really shook up after taken a shot! There are so many nice bucks this year! I hope the Game Commission stays on track with the antler restrictions and they go back to the 3 day doe season that would make for great succesful hunting!
