Shoot this deer or no?
 

I have over a hundred pictures of this deer from the summer up to yesterday. Ill be straight to the point. How old do you think this deer is, what inch range would he score, and would you take him for management purposes?

I'd shoot em cause I wanted to... I could care less how big his rack is or what a bunch of yahoos would score him...

id say 3.5, and somewhere in the 120s, as for managment, let them go it u want them to grow. good buck either way

I would let him go for 1 more year,looks pretty young to me.He should be twice as big next year.

Looks young to me as well, 3.5 max. He could very easily blow up into a giant next year. Great tine length already, and if he stays as a clean 8, you could have a real dandy on your hands.

Im a begineer at hunting how can you tell its the same deer?

That is a fine deer in anyones book. If you are obsessed with matching deer like you see on carefully prepared TV shows, pass if you have a shot, and cry the rest of the season. If you enjoy eating venison and hope for a nice rack, you will be proud as hell to take him. You can boil those horns a week and they wont get any more tender.

that deer is old enough and big enough to hang in my barn. If by shooting that deer puts a smile on your face then thats all anyone should care about.

If he gets your blood flowing then arrow him....

I think he would score around 120. I would have a hard time passing him up. Especially with the bow because I have not killed a good buck with my bow.
