Shoot for sure. He looks to be a 4 year old for sure. Many times I think there is a question on whether to shoot a deer like this because of his spread. He is not going to get wider and if left for 1 more year there is a good chance he will put on more mass is all. Hes probably grown all the length and tines he is going to grow. Some deer, like people, only grow wide, tall or over weight and will never have it all. So if he makes you happy that is all that really matters.

good mass and height..i think he is still a young guy, 4 er so...looks like a dragster with big ol back legs and those lil bitty front legs. . mass is awesome. really tall but not 15" wide which is insane for the size of the bases. i think he is getting alot of protein is why he is so thick and i bet he will def get bigger, if he makes it...someone has alot of restraint if they dont pop his butt

I'd let him walk a couple more years. Hahahahahahaha. I'd shoot him before someone else does. I shoot a 10 pt last year that reminds me of him. He only had a 15 inch spread but good mass and tall like this one. I'm not good at scoring but I'm guessing maybe 140. Great deer!
