You make it sound like you dont consider this buck a trophy but you would kill him any way just so your neighbor cant.
i think that way not because i don't want my neighbor to shoot him, but i don't see the point in "letting a buck grow" when he will get shot the next day. Around my area if i don't shoot a buck when given the oppurtunity, i am not going to get another oppurtunity when he is bigger.
And that deer is big for my area, so i would take him if i were given the chance, regardless of whether another hunter will shoot him if I don't. I am not a trophy hunter, i hunt for the meat and experience, not the bragging rights.
