IMHO...you gotta do what you feel is right....its a hard decision to make that call seeing him on camera....when your on stand and he comes walking in that to me is the best time to say yes or no...if your heart speeds up and you get short of breath..kill him!...if not....enjoy just seeing him...either way great looking deer!

As much as I love commenting on these types of posts I don't agree with them. What deer you harvest is a very personal decision and no one else should make your mind up for you. No one should ever judge another hunter by what he decides to kill only the ethics and morals he uses while doing so. Personally my goals are higher for numerous reasons, I'm blessed to live in Iowa and have lots of big deer in the area. Every year I've bowhunted I've seen a deer that would gross atleast 140-150 from stand. Havn't killed one every year, but see them. So I wait for mr. big. But I've never looked down upon a hunter who shoots the small ones even if he hunts ground neighboring what I hunt. To each his own.
