    Took about 4 years of farming the land and my dad has turned the farm into a deer/turkey sanctuary. He hasn't planted anything deer specific either besides radishes an soybean. East Springfield, PA. A lot of deer but my eyes are on this guy! I've had friends tell me that he's young and they would let him walk.. I wouldn't think twice before shooting him!

    Really hard to see in the pics, but once I zoomed in I can see that is a really nice buck. Good luck chasing that one man!

    I don't think he is as young as they think from the pics you gave lol but anyway it's your property so who cares. Looks mature to me. Good luck man.

    GREAT buck especially for the area you're in. I only live about 30 mins north of your farm and if anybody questions whether or not that you should shoot that buck, it is definitely because they are jealous! Best of luck this season.

    I agree. I am not far from the OP either. I would not hesitate to let an arrow fly on that buck.

    From what I can tell in the pictures, I personally wouldn't hesitate to shoot that deer if given the opportunity.
