let them walk. i make it a point to shoot mature bucks,unless in flintlock season,then i would shoot a 6 point or more.here in pa. they must be at least 3 points at least per side.unless your a junior or 65 or older then you can shoot the spikes or fork horn.

Whatever floats your boat. I let them go nowadays, but Idropped my fair share of 1.5yo bucks back in the day.

Let them walk, because its illegal to shoot them in Arkansas. Must have 3 points or more on one side.
