Let him go. His rear quarters are pretty small so hes still young, prolly a 2 1/2. Id say it depends on who hunts with and around you and what youve shot. Its up toyou in the end but Id ive him a chance

He's still pretty young you can tell by his face and his rear quarters. It almost looks like his chest is filled out, but I thinks he's just fat. What have you been feeding them. 2 1/2, let him go.

You are in the U.P. so I say shoot him if you get the chance. You never know what might happen up there...this winter may very harsh as opposed to some of the mild winters they've had lateley. I'd say he's 3.5 in the U.P.
