decent width good mass nice G2's. I think I'd take him but thats only cause I have alot of pressure around here. If not you could probably let him go and he might surprise ya next year.

If I had an open broadsideto quartering away within 20 yards, I'd sure be shooting.

I agree with mohunter82. Around here there is enough pressure that you can bet he wont be around for another season. So he is for sure a shooter around here. BUT you may not have as much pressure so you could be sure he will make it another season where you are. That would be my bigest concern. At any rate he looks good. Best luck either way.

I'm not sure how much of an endorsement this is, but hell yeah, I'm sending 480 grains of deer killing metal straight at him!

Would I shoot him? Depends on what I was looking for.

Based on the one picture, I am guessing 115-120" when he is all done as I don't see him past the ear by much (his left ear may be a bit pinned back and the angle of the picture may havethe right side appearing to befarther out than it would be if looking straight on).

Also, I don'tthink his rack is all that tall except that hishis brow tines are pretty good.

But hopefullyI am way low in my estimate.

where i hunt now i would take him without thinking. If i was still on the farms in MO, it would all depend on what i was seeing throughout the year

Without a moment's hesitation, D-man.

But then again, if you're like me, your level of "pickiness" is directly correlated to your amount of vacation time (which in my case is zero). So...

He is definately a nice buck, but if you have an area where you can protect him he will be a great buck in a year or two.
Your call! Good luck.
