I guess that's pretty much the same way I think. If he's big enough you would shoot him even if the Birth Certificate said 3.5
Does that mean you shoot a 4.5 even if he's a Dink? That's where I might differ but then I do have trouble reading the Birth certificate
I rarely see Bucks aged anything but 1.5, 2.5, & 3.5 at the Slug check in station. I couldn't agree with all the ages even though some are pretty evident.

No, not me. I care less about the age of a buck (3.5 vs older) so long as he is a good buck and I'd be proud to have him. I've seen some pretty good deer that I knew were 2.5 that I let go. Pretty good ain't good enough. I'm picky about bucks.... thats why I shoot does and eat buck tag soup with my salad before having doe fawn backstrap for supper.
Now all this ofcoursedepends on what your definition of a dink is. I've seen some of those TV boys let "dink" 150" deer go because they are holding out for something over 170". Good for them.... but you'd have to help me drag out my "dink".
Here is a 3.5 year old I'd shoot.
I'm with you all the way Swamp. I'm not passing up 150" Buckeven if someone tells me it's 1.5 year old
I have a freezer full of Does, well it was a few short months ago.
