RE: Is it about the DEER, the RACK, or BOTH ?
The deer has already had a pretty rough season...I would let him pass in hopes of seeing him next year with a full head gear.
I have actually passed on a number of deer that have had one side busted off that were shooters.
For me it is about the combination of the deer and the rack. Now if that same deer came in and he was hurt from whatever claimed his antler, I would take the shot.
