He must be a "town" deer. Here in VA they are wild and if ya doant killem when ya seeum in season the farmers will get somebody who will. Going from 1&1/2 to 4&12 years he don't get that much more meat on him, his tail doesn't get that much bigger and his hide doesn't expand enough justify letting him walk. Hide and tail $2 max for buckshot, rifle or ML killt. JMHO, of course here it's 3 bucks a year and unlimited antlerless and that kinda makes you jaded. Excessive amounts of "posted" land and plenty die of bad teeth or yotes and get eaten by the vultures and mice/squirrels. Bout 1/2 the places I hunt, if the farmer knows you let any deer walk, ya don't get to come back, just a fact. Yeah, there are some big ones here but they are wild and wily and know where they are safe. Congrats on growin a nice one and hope ya get a whack at him. 10
