Default You think he is big enough for a first deer with a bow????

Well?????? I would love to shoot this buck this fall in archery season, but have had several people tell me that I need to let him grow up, but it will be SO HARD to hold off if he walks under my stand this fall, since it is my first deer season as a bowhunter.........

There are two responses to this.... and it really depends on what your long term goals are... but all that is speculative without a lot more detailed information.

My attitude is that its your hunt and if you'd be proud to have.... then go have at him!

You answered your question already---You would love to shoot this buck. It is your hunt and you are doing it for your reasons, live to hunt YOUR hunt.
