    Looks like he'll be about 125" when the velvet comes off. I would say shoot unless you've shot a bigger one recently.

    I've been in the same predicament with a buck, but around where I hunt if I don't kill him, someone else probably will during rifle season, but I would love to let him grow another year

    I would nickname him "Hog" or "Hollywood" considering he is always in front of a camera. But man, that is one heck of a boss buck right there.

    That deer looks mature to me. Definitely 3 1/2 probably more. I would definitely call him a shooter! Good luck!

    What's the deal with the timestamp? 9/26/11? Was it just not set or can we assume the deer is now almost two years older and 30 inches larger?

    As is...I'd let him walk but I have a couple better ones on the wall and would rather have a doe for meat so I'm not a good gauge to go by.

    Still a beautiful deer! I like the double brow.
