That is a 3 1/2 for sure... I would take him for sure and they way you are talking about the area.. for sure shooter!

Ditto. But, FWIW, I would take him this year,he would darn good on the wall.......

I would shoot but like you say he's only 31/2... At 41/2 or 51/2 if he makes it he would be a true stud......

he appears to be a 3 1/2 year old buck. i would let him walk unless it was the last few weeks of the season. with those genetics i would love to see what he would look like at 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 years old

I'm sure you will answer this question when he walks under your stand, if you have any doubts they will be answered then. With that said.....If he would be your biggest buck, then yes, but he is definately a trophy in anyones book.

3 1/2 i see a belly starting to hang.

Id say 2.5. Personally I wouldnt shoot him. Id let him grow, but Im not the person pulling the trigger. Do what you feel is best. You and only you can be the judge

I'd shoot him

If the deer makes you happy, shoot it! It's a pretty buck.

If it isnt in a pressured area i would let it go until next year...Just think of the size it could be I would say 2 1/2 yr old. Now if it is in an area where it is hunted heavily by other people then I would whack him.
