RE: deer
Thats a tough one.. My second buck was about that size. If the hunting pressure is high in your area and you consider it to be a good buck then go for it. Personally though I would not shoot him. Still too small.. let him grow another year or two or even three.. If he survives then he'll be a real big trophy

RE: deer
And i also have plenty of years to hunt for a big rack. It's a proven fact that if a buck is dead hecan't grow a bigger rack. If you want meat, shoota doe that you probably have too many of anyways. He has good potential from that pic. Nice dark antlers, 8 symetrical points, nice height and spread for how old he is. Take a video camera out and tape him for some cool footage if he happens by.

Not because I haven't seen any, but because if I shoot the small ones, how will they grow into bigger ones? I've passed on quite a few bucks in this size range because I'm holding out for a nicer buck. |
RE: deer
If it would be your biggest buck, shoot it. If you would be happy with it take it.

RE: deer
I dono who said it buti dont have that many doe's. lastnight i got 2 bucks on camera and 3 doe's and 2 fawns. Tonight i sat out and seen 2 fawns and a doe and found out that my neighbor is going ot rifle hunt 100 yards from where i am so that might be screwing me up to. I'm going to go over and ask him if i can just hunt over his spot since he knows i never shot much yet.

RE: deer
is this private land? If it is don't shoot it. With gun season next week he might get popped. if it is public land. Like my tag line say's.

RE: deer

RE: deer
Ok thanks for your opinions guys. Its private land but my bad neighbor makes a drive threw it every year rifle hunting and then my good neighbor hunts it.
