In most instances, I seem to always want to give a buck “one more year” unless there’s overwhelming evidence that he’s mature. One hopes that next year he may be a little bit heavier, or that he finally throws that matching G6. At the very least, he’ll be able to spread his seed one more season. On the contrary, if you wait too long, you may have already witnessed the pinnacle of that buck’s genes being expressed. You also have to contend with Mother Nature, which may not always be in that buck’s favor.
Sometimes you just have to roll the dice and enjoy the hunt.
