If it's not my hunting partner I'm shooting it.[8D]

It would be a great buck for my area and wouldn't last long.If I did pass it though the guy down from me would take it.

Yes, I would shoot him. First day or last day does not matter.

"Don't pass up anything on the first day that you wouldn't pass up the last day"

if hes consistantely coing in i would let him go till last few days but i would probably shoot him this year

It's funny to read all of the responses to a question like this. I think it all depends on where you hunt and how many wall mounts you already have. If I was out west, I wouldn't even consider him but since I reside in Maryland it makes him more tempting. I already have a couple sixes and eights so he would have to be bigger than what I already have. (The wife is bitching about wall space and $$$ ) It would be a shame to take him if I didn't intend on getting him mounted. If his rack gets bigger then maybe but right now I would have to say I would let him walk until next year. As far as meat goes, I can get as many doe as I want and they really need to be trimmed down around here anyway.

I wouldnt shoot him. I would smile and have a good feeling letting him pass on the last day of a longhunting season even if I didn't shoot anything. WWW.PBASE.COM/MLO3135127

In the area I hunt, I would let him walk. I might not see him again, but he has alot of growing to do. I would rather take a doe than him. Just my .02

PASS

i would let him go so he can grow.

I'd be lucky to get any deer in close enough, so if the opportunity is there I'd take him.
