    I don't trophy hunt. Not that there is anything wrong with anyone who does. I would shoot. And I would savor every bite.

    tell you like i tell everyones thats asked me the same question a hundred times,if you are happy with him, then it doesn't matter what me or any one else would do. you don,t have to please any one in bowhunting but yourself, that's the great thing about it. i personally would let walk, ONLY because i have been lucky enough through years to have taken some very decent deer ( in my opinion), but if you liked that deer,wanted that deer, then you were right in taking that deer no matter what i or anyone else would have done! by the way, congrats!!!!

    I would let him walk, if you are happy with him that is all that really matters.

    So hard to judge a buck by a trail camera, but if i had enough time in the woods to really look at him, then i would have made my decision then. Judging by what you've said, I would have let him walk! Nice buck though!

    I would without a doubt put one through him. I like the idea of letting them walk and get more mature but that just doesn't happen in the area's I hunt.
