I would say 3.5

nice buck, as far as a food plot gos i would put one in you might nott get the growth but if nothing else it will help hold him on your land witch would give him a better chance of making it till next year. it also will bring other deer to your aira you might see bucks that you have never seen befor.

If you don't think the neighbors will shoot him, let him walk...he will be a beast next year...

Cheers/bg

I would say 2.5. It all depends on where you live and how big your hunting area is. If you think he will hang around a few years I would say wait. If you are in an area with heavy pressure you might as well take him yourself. He is a fine buck even if he is still young. The meat will be quite tasty.

Shoot him. He has a good rack, and if he's only 2.5 he'll be pretty tasty. Win win.
