I hate everyone here that is getting pics of the dream bucks they have running around while mine stay hidden. But seriously that is one hell of a deer. Got plans for him? ie. letting him walk or gonna smoke him?

I hope letting him walk that is amazing to havea young buck that has that character, in 2 years maybe one he will be a slammer right now although he is cool he doesn't look like he will be much other than a double droptine buck

idk, the thing is i only get to bow hunt in there.. Others gun hunt.. and knowing people around here, he wont survive if its up to them. So im kinda in a dilemma.. If it was my private land and could manage it, id let him walk for sure.. but its either i get him, or some redneck will.. im leaning towards me shooting him.. not everyday do you get a chance at a double drop.. but i got another month to think it over..so idk for sure

Hey Young`un, if a buck like that shows up on one of my cameras I'm gonna pee my pants. We have a 6-point or better rule on our 9-man lease. He would fall to the first member to see him.

If you can't decide, I'd be happy to come along and take him. Last year I had a buck I named 'Off-limits' He was a year old deer that was a 9 point. G2's both split and the one side had 3 brows and the other none. Tight little rack that I thought would grow into a giant.
I passed him on November 13th. That was the last I saw of him. My guess is someone count 4 points on one side and now he is history. He was a regular on my TC last year.
Like you said, unless you can strictly manage, take him out.

he's nice, but a buck of that caliber deserves the opportunity to become the buck that we all dream of which he will be in a year or two... with that being said... I can say that because i will not be tempted this fall with him...i.m glad
