It just cracks me up that people post pics of obvious "trophy" caliber bucks that are clearly at least 3 1/2 yrs old (mature) with a question of "would you shoot them".... No man, I would pass and wait for them to die of old age then after the coyotes had their share I would go and saw the horns off and put them up in my barn!! I just laugh and shake my head... If you don't know, you probably shouldn't be in the woods or even care about proper dear management... A better post would have been "look at these beautiful bucks that I'm going to put the sticking to this fall!" Then I would respond with a good luck and a hell yeah!

Well, I guess I could make the road trip and do it for you. I will share in some hindquarter, maybe a loin or something for you to eat....if you eat venison. there wiill be no charge, and I will be sure to bring some buds to make sure we get them all. Then you wont have to worry about them being shootable or not!
JUST KIDDING....nice looking herd. I woul be studying their patterns and do my best to slay the one you thought had the best character and wouldnt hesitate for a second,,,unless I was too busy rolling my tongue in my mouth and picking my jaw from the ground.
Good luck on any of those brutes....dont even think about it....shoot and be merry !
