I would, any deer is good enough for me. I'd be happy to get a buck, any buck.

It would depend where I was hunting. In most of my hunting locations (in NC)I can nota buck must be 8 pt or bigger. I would have to be hard up to shoot him or have my son with me and let him bust him.......

Where I hunt in Michigan and on Public land in Illinois, without a doubt. Bow would be pulled or the Safety would be off the second I saw him.

That's a "self-imposed" or "private" rstriction, I'm assuming.

Kudos to you guys.

I have killed many smaller with my bow and several that were larger. Without exception, I would kill him if given the opportunity..........bow or gun........(gasp)![]

For a first buck, you bet. Today, just grab the binos and enjoy.

I would be torn what to do. Our goal is to grow bigger deer on our property so I don't think I would, but the short term regret would linger in my mind for a couple of hours.
