Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I hear so many times on here, "I would let him walk..." that I am beginning to believe everyone hunts in places with 6-8 good bucks every season. I don't. I'll be honest with you, the buck I am posting below would get a look from me at the right time of the season. I have slowly progressed to the point where I more than likely (90%) would not shoot this buck. I have been hunting 15 years, and 13 of those, I would have taken this type of buck in a heartbeat in the places I hunt.....would you?

RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
nope
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
No.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Maybe if I hunted where you do but not here. No
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I would, Brett......because he's a heckuva nice 6 for these parts.
Just being honest.....and I'd put him on the wall. He'd be one of the top 3 deer I've ever seen, from stand (in NC). |
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
If it was the last day and I had not killed a deer.....you bet.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
probably....i like big forkies...but it really depends on where i am....
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Even in my "no big buck region" I wouldn't shoot him. I'm at the point in my hunting career will I'll eat my tag (like I did in Alberta last year) before I'll take something that I don't think meets my desired rack size requirements, and he wouldn't meet them.

On NW Florida public land...... in a heart beat.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
99%, I will not shoot it, unless I need meat and haven't shot any does and it's the final day of the season!
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I would be just as happy watching him.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Only with a Camera.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Dead deer here in SC.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I probably would pass on him 90% of the time and have passed on larger bucks than him, but you never know, sometimes i just get the itch to pull the trigger.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
90% of the numbnuts in michigan would "if it's brown it's down" mentality.
I won't anymore, I would've a long time ago, but now i know better. |
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Youinvite me to your place and I would..;)
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Only at sunset of the last day of the season-in MN. we can only take 1 buck per year
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
hey i passed on him last year how did he get all the way up there. Honestly i passed in 2 bucks that looked like that last year. and I haven't even killed a buck with my bow yet.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
2 years ago, absolutely. However, with the success I've had the last 2 years and the bucks I've seen more regularly I would say no. He is a nice 2.5 year old. I love those tall G2s.
|

ORIGINAL: Schultzy nope |
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I would,
Thats just where i am in the whitetail trophy hunting world right now |
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Seriously I would. Around here that's a good kill. But it's situational. There are no managment rules anywhere near me. So the chance of that deer making it to another season is slim. Where you are the situation may be different. I will say those TALL G2's are sexy and I would really like to see what this deer could look like given another year. WOW that thought is nice.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I stick him in a heartbeat.... The only thing Im gonna let walk this year are spikes and the Little 4/6.... That would have to be a lot smaller for me to let it walk. I'd mount it too.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
NOPE
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
That guy would live thru archery and rifle seasons - doesn't meet Antler restrictions. (I probably would have had bow in hand when I first saw him coming though!)
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
its a good thing i said no. My county was put under antler restriction this year and that dear isn't legal. Finally !!!!!!!
 |
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Here in South Jersey...........dead. Those tall g-2's would look dandy on a plaque in my office.
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I would shoot him in a heart beat!
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
No, shootingwould never cross my mind. I wouldn't even take a pitcher of him. (j/K):D:D
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
I sure would...
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
The only thing I can say is : Stick a fork in him he's done. I can't eat the bone sticking out of his
head For many Years I would have not unless it was the last day & getting late , But now with the pricesof food any more you BETCHA I would. |
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Not even close
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
Yep. I ain't too proud. ;)
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
no i wouldnt shoot that buck but its still a nice young little guy
|
RE: Be honest, would you shoot this buck?
If I'm not mounting him, I'm not shooting him, and I'm not mounting him. Good looking deer just not quite what I'm after.
