Most of the breeding is done, but I'm still encountering some good looking deer. Will I pull the trigger on one?

I truly respect your decision making. Regardless of his age, if he’s not the one to make you happy, let him walk. Me? He’d be in my freezer, but that’s MY personal decision. As always, great video. Thanks!

Catman has probably killed 20 deer this year😑......he feeds half the poor folk in TN

He's a tough one to pass on public ground. But my way of thinking is I have the opportunity to hunt most weekends. A hunter that might only get a couple chances to hunt each year would be more than proud to take a buck like that. Respect to you for letting him go and maybe that hunter might be there this weekend and takes him. He may be young but he sure is a nice buck and it takes control to let one like that walk on public here in the south.

Great episode. Restraint can be tough at times but it can often pay off. Sign of a seasoned hunter.

Great woodsmanship I've observed since I found your channel a couple weeks ago. It's great to see 👍

I’m going to adopt that way of thinking. From now on, if I have to think about it, it’s not the one for me.

Hey CatMan! I hunted in crocs for the first time this year back during our Bow Season. Kinda liked it. You inspired me!

Yes I’m glad you passed it goes to show we don’t have to kill everything we see,sometimes just enjoy the moment, seems like the ones we pass we remember longer.

Catman you are the reason why they're a deer still walking around I am so proud of how you use your skills on judging dear I've learned a lot from your videos and I want to thank you so much for sharing them and bringing me along on on all your experiences in the whitetail deer hunt watching from South Carolina

Maybe this just shows where I'm at, but that would have been a personal record for me. Pretty deer for that young, and he will be a biggin if he makes it another year.

Great video - as usual Catman! But no way is the "rut" over in middle TN. You guys will have does coming into estrus at least into the 2nd week of Jan. I hunt NW MS, and it's common to see chasing way into Jan. Keep hunting. You'll see more action!

I've killed just as many deer laying on the ground as I have in a tree or in a ground blind..... great way to hunt.... I usually just lay at the base of a big tree and just lay over a backpack....... when your just a lump on the ground, deer dont seem to pay you much mind...

For me at this stage of my life and my deer hunting experiences ...it is a shooter. That being said, a doe is just as good.

@fredsalay720 7 ай бұрын

Well if I was in my 30s being his left side G2 was broken I would pass. In reality if my 58 year old ass saw him now....he would be down. If it wasn't for the long video shot of him I would have never noticed the G2 missing. Always a good video CatMan!!

Dont think I'd pass that one up. But, if he's not what you want , then he's not what you want.

@michaelcox609 7 ай бұрын

I can also respect your decision on not shoot. In my case I would have because I haven't shot a buck in a few years and I need the meat. So buck down. Keep making fun videos.

I'd probably let him pass. I messed up this year shot to quickly 😂

I ain't passing that deer up on public land. If you have a ton of private to hunt that has some big deer on it then it's ok to let him walk.

Wise decision to pass due to the broken tines- no broken tines I would have taken the shot.
