well what really sucks, is if I didnt shoot him, someone else would have shot him... I have people around me shooting spikes and forks.... So there was no way I was letting him go....

Its hard to get people up here to let the little ones go... and they say , i want meat....So I say, SHOOT A DOE...

but nuthing i can do if they shoot tiny ones....

Nothing wrong with that deer Mathew'sboy ! I'd have to say he's a shooter here in Ontario as well. We definetly have a lot of bigger deer in the Northern part of Ont but he's pretty comparable to the one's we have in the southern end.

If i was hunting wisconsin with a rifle, I would take him, but maybe not opening morning.With a bow, i would hold out on shooting him until December or January if he's the only one i could get a shot at. he's a nice buck.

But in Iowa.....you probably wont get laughed at for shooting a little buck but you probably aint gonna get any double takes. 140" is about right fora 3 1/2 year in iowa, some bigger, some smaller. I had a shot at two bucks like him in iowa, one was 15 yards away upwind. had the crosshairs right on him but let him walk, even though it was the last day. No, i would let him grow two more years. with the high amount of Nutritional forage in Wisconsin and Iowa, he could have some potential.


Congrats on the kill BTW.

It all depends on what you want to do and what kind of bucks you have in the area. That is a great buck and you should be nothing but proud.;)

The bucks in my area would probably be violating his buckhood while saying..who's yer daddy!:D

RE: This buck versus the bucks in your area....
 

He's better than average for our area... but a lot of them are taken every year.

If your hunting in the Md-Atlantic area and don't see this everyday find a new spot to hunt. They are out there.

Nice buck ......Since I hunt heavily hunted areas....He 's a shooter....

RE: This buck versus the bucks in your area....
 

That would be a real good one where I hunt. A good mature buck here avg's about 110"-115". I'd love to get a crack at one like that! :)
