    If he trips your trigger, I say go for it!

    FYI, if he walked under my stand he'd get an arrow :tu:

    To some extent, that's a question only you can answer. Personally, I'd take him without thinking twice.

    I think that if he grew alot between last year and this year maybe see what he becomes? If you have private land where he may stick around without too much pressure I would wait but you may think different if he walks by!! If the first thing you do is grab your bow when you see him with no hesitation you will have your answer! Good luck hopefully it works out either way. Good hunting

    Its a personal decision.

    And FYI, the first buck is different than the other two. The first one looks like an old bruiser.

    He's a shooter if you think he is.

    I would say if you have bigger deer on your land then let him walk otherwise stick him! I would not let him walk by me without a arrow but thats opinion!

    If he gets your adrenaline high and your heart pumping, take him! Don't worry what anyone else thinks. You just gotta go for what YOU think is a trophy. (I also give this speech when I shoot little bucks so people don't give me crap :o ) That would be a monster on my land!

    I would take him. It depends really what you think is a "mature" deer and where your located.
