    1. What are you holding out for? Buck........in my area mid 120 or better.

    2. How much time do you have left? Until January 31, 2010

    3. What do you think your chances are of still scoring on the buck you want? Slim to none

    4. Will you give In and take something smaller? Will take a large doe for more freezer meat but will still buckhunt until end of season.

    5. If you answered yes to #4 how long before the season ends will you give In then?
    I will not give in......will hunt until last day.

    1. A mature buck
    2. January 10
    3. 50% ( never say die)
    4. nothing less than mature
    5. I ate my tag last year as well, and I passed on a 115 inch in the last 15 minutes of season on January 10.

    I wanna say that I have no problem whatsoever with people shooting whatever they want. I hold out because I know I wont be happy or proud of my kill if I take a younger buck than I intended. I would absolutely shoot a younger buck at this point if it would leave me feeling satisfied.

    1. What are you holding out for? A "decent" buck (to be determined when I see one from the stand :D)

    2. How much time do you have left? 'til December 31st

    3. What do you think your chances are of still scoring on the buck you want? Not sure. I couldn't hunt my hunting grounds during rifle season, but some other people did, so I don't know if my target buck survived or not....

    4. Will you give in and take something smaller? Probably. I have yet to take a deer with my bow, and will be after does as well.

    5. If you answered yes to #4 how long before the season ends will you give in then? Depends on how my schedule is looking...

    I'm not sure I'm even going to head out anymore this year, but I might if I have nothing else going on & the weather isnt too bad. That said IF I do get out,

    1. What are you holding out for? Depends on my mood & bow. I'd like to say 120+, but let a 110 walk by and who knows. IF I have my long bow...any racked but will get shot at.

    2. How much time do you have left? I think Feb 7th

    3. What do you think your chances are of still scoring on the buck you want? I have probably a 30% chance that I will even hunt. Then probably a .0005% chance of scoring on top of that.

    4. Will you give In and take something smaller? See #1

    5. If you answered yes to #4 how long before the season ends will you give In then?

    1. What are you holding out for? An adult buck that gets me excited and lives in IN. This time of year most of the long tined boys are all busted up so going for score is goofy. Anything that gets my heart pumping better learn to duck.
    2. How much time do you have left? Jan 3.
    3. What do you think your chances are of still scoring on the buck you want? low at best. After 50+ sits in Ohio before I finally filled my buck tag my wife is not real accepting of me being out very much more.
    4. Will you give In and take something smaller? nope.
    5. If you answered yes to #4 how long before the season ends will you give In then?
