Very nice buck, but I think he'll be easier pass once that velvet comes off. One more year on him and he'll really be a stud, especially if he stays as an 8.
That's a buck that could fool you while chasing a doe. Comes scooting by, just getting glimpses of his rack, and that's the day when passing him will be tough! If you decide to give him the pass before season starts, and then the above scenario happens, that could get interesting!
