I ended up passing on a nice 3x4 because a friend shot a forky, his first deer, on one of our properties. He never field dressed an animal so I needed to get there to help. The 3x4 stood broadside at 50 yards looking at me while I was on the phone with mu friend. Next year he will be bigger! Plus my son had already tagged a buck and I knew I would tag an elk so the freezer was over capacity. I won’t kill it if my family and neighbors won’t eat it.
Next year perhaps.
