I probably wouldn't shoot, cause then I'd have to do something with the deer. I'd never shoot a nice young 8 pt., because I'd rather give him another year's growth. I'd be pretty sure the 12 pt. would make the season, so I'd probably let him slide and try for him next year, also. Even if he was big this year, maybe he'll be bigger next year. I wouldn't shoot anything without a clear line of fire.
