RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
 

I couldunderstand shooting it if it was the first deer you have seen in a long season. but I would pass on it.

RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
 

The half rack would not play into the equation for me. I'd shoot it and be proud.:)

What if this deer (half racked) was an obvisous 4.5-5.5year old? Does that matter to those of you that said you would not shoot??

RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
 

No, it doesn't matter, I still wouldn't shoot. By the way,there's a snowballs chance in hell of a buck living that long where I hunt!;)

RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
 

NO!!! I would never shoot a half rack

This one had both sides but not much else. But it also was the last day of the season.
Nine points with the longest being about5 inches.[:-]He was getting no better.I was happy.:)

RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
 

No, I wouldn't.

I've killed them before, might again in the future. Depends on the situation/location/time of year etc. If its a deer that I would shoot withmatching sides, I'd probably shoot with half a rack.

The results of this question always suprise me.
Especially when everyone talks of the general size of bucks they'd shootand the whole "mature" thing.

RE: Would you shoot a half rack?
 

Ditto.

Of course I would. If he's a mature deer......I'm shooting. Theage of a deer, ALONE, would determine the "trophy" factor, for me.....regardless of headgear. I'd have that deer mounted and be proud of him.

I'd shoot
