Free Pass

My son let this one walk based on age, we guessed him at 3. Now he's having second thoughts. I think he made a responsible decision. He's 16 and this would have been his best.

Nice buck, agree with his call on age. Good job with training your son

Nice buck That had to take a lot of restraint for a 16 year old to pass on him, hats off on the game management practices

He's feeling better after reading y'alls posts. He knows he made the right choice, he's worried about the neighbors. With regard to our management practices; when we leave camp we always remind each other you'll never shoot a 2 yr old trophy.

I believe he made a good call. Many make it past the neighbors. If he sees him in future years he'll be even bigger and more special.

great job and show of patience.

Heck of a buck
Congrats to your son on his restraint
Let's hope he's rewarded with a giant in the future

WOW........much luck too your son in the near future!

Excellent restraint by your son. He did a good job by letting him walk. You'll never kill a 170 if shoot them when they are 150.

Don't think he's 3, may be more like 3.5-4.0 IMO. Nice buck and good call by your son.

Good call.

he did a fine job

Best of luck to your son for next year.

Not gonna lie, I would've been tempted but he did the right thing

Great call by your son, even if he is 4yr old he still made a great call. He will be rewarded in the future for his call. Good teaching dad

.

To me that is more than just good management. What a great lesson for a youngster to learn about patience and restraint. His day will come

IMO, your son made a good call and showed a lot of maturity. You sir are a lucky man.

Great decision! Good buck this year, but will an AWESOME buck next year!

Great call. He'll definitely get bigger next season.
Yup.......sucks when your neighbors shoot deer that you let go to get mature but hopefully they'll learn to manage like your son is doing!

Young Man could teach a few Fellas a thing or two
