We also have people that go to N. Dakota and pay to shoot domestic bison at great expense. I had just as soon shoot Hereford steer. Can't tell the meat apart. As to the original poster, why not hold your fire on those smaller bucks and see what else comes trailing in. One day I was after a good ten point I had pictures of. I let a good six point go by that was trailing a doe flagging her tail, next came two more doe followed soon by a pretty fair 8 point , then right before dark the ten point showed up on the trail. He caught a .30-06 bullet.
