lead poison would be the cause of his death

Absolutly...

I wouldn't have second thoughts about it - he'd be in my freezer !!

BANG

Depends on where you are, In the big woods of NY, Don't wait to long or he'll be gone

Mission

I'd be proud of him nice deer.

With archery equiment for sure... Id let him walk with a gun...

i would try to not shoot him but more than likely i would.

Would be very hard to pass, even in IL, but I would try to hold off. He would taste good and would look good on the wall though. I am no help, I know!

imho...shoot him. if you are going to let him walk to get bigger, you are teetering on deer farming not hunting. it's nice to shoot big bucks but when you are passing up big bucks to let them grow bigger and shoot later, you're just antler hunting not deer hunting.
