Buck Breeding; Wait, Shoot, or Pass?

You’ve been hunting hard, and the big buck you’ve been after finally shows up.
Then he hops up on a doe and starts giving her the business. Would you shoot the
buck off of the doe? See what this hunter did here.

yeah...I would have waited.

but I would have gotten the heart shot. this guy got lucky and just barely spined it. another half inch higher and he would have grazed it.

Good for him. Give that buck’s genetics a chance to propagate, then harvest him.

I would have put one in him before he got onboard.

That’s when you put down the rifle and pick up the camcorder!

Back beyond the clearing one of the bucks was overheard saying “Well, he died doing what he enjoyed doing most. We should all be so lucky.”

Heh. Reminds me of the time my brother couldn’t make it on a fishing trip with the rest of our family. Turns out his wife’s particulars were all lined up to give it another try for conceiving a child. He told me, but told me to fib and say he had to work.

Mom: “Oh, I wish he could have come. He works too hard!”

Me: “Well, he enjoys his work you know. And some times you have to work really long and hard to get results. But - a guy has to do what a guy has to do.”

Man, the decent thing to do would be to wait until they have time to enjoy a cigarette and the afterglow.
