It's funny to read all of the responses to a question like this. I think it all depends on where you hunt and how many wall mounts you already have. If I was out west, I wouldn't even consider him but since I reside in Maryland it makes him more tempting. I already have a couple sixes and eights so he would have to be bigger than what I already have. (The wife is bitching about wall space and $$$ ) It would be a shame to take him if I didn't intend on getting him mounted. If his rack gets bigger then maybe but right now I would have to say I would let him walk until next year. As far as meat goes, I can get as many doe as I want and they really need to be trimmed down around here anyway.
