He's one you might want to think about getting out of the herd. Most likely his genetics aren't too great unless he has an injury. We try to get any buck with an antler like that out of the herd whenever he presents a shot. He might turn out a be a good buck down the road but odds are he won't be a giant.

Man,that sucks he isn't legal!
I'll agree, its a funny background but one of my spots in as Deer city USA as you can get. Probably the closest legal spot to downtown Chicago as you can find. I live in Downtown Chicago so I have a spot with 30 mins if I want to get an afternoon hunt in. Not a big chunk of land but legal and we've gotten deer the last 3 years since we started hunting it.
