A friend and I are debating just how old this buck is. My friend thinks he is a 3.5 year old. I'm not so sure.

He looks like he may eventually develop at least one droptine and if he is young, might develop into an outstanding buck in another year.

This is a trophy managed fair chase hunting lease. With that in mind, would you:
a. Let him walk. He is young and will be an outstanding buck next year.
b. Smoke him. He is older and has reached near his maximum potential.

Also what do you think he would score now?
