You have the power to let him walk another year - but someone else probably won't.

I'd take him out for sure. He's nice and wide and probably won't get anymore tine length. He'd be one I wouldn't want passing on his genes with those short tines.

If he was where Im at, which is over crowded with hunters, that sucker would be on the ground.
Same here, Would give him another year to see what would be next year if he makes thru seasons/

I agree. He would have to go down when I saw him. Hard to pass on a cool deer like that.
