    New buck to the area eating on my beans. This is on the edge of a 7 acre soybean field. Judging by looks I know he's mature. Opinions on letting him go one more year or if I get a chance at him this year, take it? Thanks.

    I'd have a hard time passing on him, but what ever makes you happy Treetime. He's a clean buck for sure!

    I have two bucks on the wall a 10 point and an 11 point. Both are typical 10s and one has a kicker off G-2. I want a big typical 8 on my wall bad! I say shoot that fella. He is a dandy!

    What do you think on score? Saw him last night glassing the fields, he shed his velvet but he's still a great buck.

    I would guess him around 135", a very nice buck with a HUGE body! He fits right in with my own personal goals for the year, 3.5 or older and above 125". He's getting an arrow his way if its me.

    Great buck!

    I would say score is around 140 and for sure you are a better man than me if you can pass that buck. Not many people would even ask the question!!!

    Nice buck, he would not get a pass from me, but most of the deer in these pictures wouldn't. 120s? They're going down... 140s? I hope I can remain calm.

    I would definitely not shoot him. He looks too nice, plus... Not a fan of symmetrical, tall-tined, big bodied 8 pointers, nice doe in the second picture though!

    It is up to you man but I definitely think he is a mature buck and I would let an arrow fly. Hope you at least get to see him in person so you can make a decision!!
