Does it really matter if he's 125 or 140 if you shoot him. Nice buck either way...need a better photo to decipher if he's close to 140 than 125.

Hmmm, do I shoot the real nice P&Y buck or wait on the 220" slammer? Man, that's a nice problem to have. Considering I've never shot a buck as big as the one in the pic, I'd take him.

Good luck on whatever you decide.

I've been fortunate enough to shoot a couple that meet the 130+. It took nearly 20 years, but I won't hesitate if another comes along.

A respectable buck is a respectable buck, period. That buck in the pic is a respectable buck.

You have nothing to prove to anyone. Most bowhunters have never had the opportunity to see a buck of that quality much less have an opportunity to shoot one that good.

Don't fall into the rut of feeling as though you're asking permission to shoot a particular buck because someone else would pass it.

Some would say pass it...let it go till next year... he's not a mature 4.5 yr old...

WHO freakin' cares what "they" think!

It's all about YOU! If that buck doesn't get your heart pumping, there is a need to say...Houston, we have a problem....

QDM doesn't ever enter this topic.

Given the situation, alotted time in the field, as some have the priviledge of more time in the field than most, and so many more variables, it ultimately is your choice when it comes down to crunch time.

Never ask permission, never apologize for what you choose to shoot. Be proud of your choice. No one can take that away from you.

Good luck. Show a picture of you holding his rack this season!

He's wide and decent tine length...probably 130-135, but I doubt if he'd make 140. Definitely a fine buck.
