I would do it. I don't trophy hunt but I do limit myself to a degree and he more than fits. If that walked by my stand during bow season I would do it without thinking. That is one of the nicer deer I have seen in my area.

He would be a gonner during gun season as well, I am limited to at least 4 points on one side on the property I hunt on.

In the area I live in letting him walk so I could get him next year probably wouldn't work. Way to many people hunting that will shoot anything that moves and the properties are not large enough to expect the deer to remain resident. Or he would get taken out with vehicle instead.

I haven't been doing this long enough to let something like that walk. Like I always say, the state sold me the tags to kill deer not go nature watching.
