If you haven't shot or seen anything bigger than he get's it. If you have than let him walk he will be a stud next year.

That's a real good one where I hunt...no way I'm letting him pass. If I was in an area where that was just an avg decent buck...it would probably be different. Good luck.

I would take him for sure. All this practice and preparation there is no way I'd let him walk if he presented a good shot!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NO!!! Not in my woods!!

I will agree with Bry on this one. Around here (SE Pa.) that buck doesn't get a pass.

Not a chance.

Life (hunting) is much easier when you don't care if a deer lives beyond the next/current season.
Hunt the bucks that exist NOW, don't worry about the ones that may or may not exist NEXT year.

I would let him go.


Good luck

I got to the point that passing on 1.5 yeear olds is a non issue. Passed up my first 2.5 year old 2 seasons ago. Not sure I have progressed to the point that I could pass up a 3.5.

I let one go about that size last year, second weekend of the season. I kicked myself in the arse at the end of the season
while eating tag soup, oh well thats hunting besides if he made
it he will be even bigger.

Where im from not to many people let any deer walk they are so few and far between... never mind a brute like that.
