RE: How old and would you take it
 

If it were my first deer. NO, I would probably be shaking too bad from buck fever ;)
I shook so darn bad the first time out bowhunting and that was with deer about 60 yards in front of me. Haha

But seriously. In my first few years of hunting he would have been down for sure. Now I would double think it, but he would probably be down.

Young. I would let him grow a few years if possible.

Punctuation?

RE: How old and would you take it
 

Like most, I'm guessing around 2-2.5 year range. I haven't taken a too many bucks in my 10 years of hunting, but with this one I'd let him grow another year to see what he became. He looks like he has some potential. In situations like these, its all up to the individual as to whether or not to shoot. I shot a 10-point 2 weeks ago that wasn't all that huge, but he was my first buck with my ML and I was extremely happy with him, whereas some other people may have passed him up.

deffinatly take him. deer dont get much bigger than that in my part of the country. plus, he probably wouldnt make it through the PA rifle season.

RE: How old and would you take it
 

2 1/2. Not yet, wait one more year and i would seriously consider it but not this year.

RE: How old and would you take it
 

I would have shot this buck.......earlier in the year. I wouldn't , now. I'd shake your hand if you did, though,....and congratulate you.

RE: How old and would you take it
 

Yep 2 1/2 and i would give him 1 maybe 2 more years!!! Walt

RE: How old and would you take it
 

1.5 for sure, I think

Being your location Wis. I would say stud 1.5 year old.

Up to you take him or not.

RE: How old and would you take it
 

I'd let him walk till next season. 2 years old
