Me personally...he's right on the edge. It would honestly (wrong or right) depend on what else I got to chase as well...but I'll be honest he walks up that first instinct to grab the bow would be all I need to loose an arrow. I don't fight that feeling if it happens.
Depends on the area. Some areas have much larger deer and some he would be a giant. If you feel its time then get him on the list
Yep depends on what else you have running around.... but when it comes down to it if you have him at 20yds and your heart is racing... you'll know
I'd have to say for me he would prolly be a shooter but the area I'm hunting doesn't hold a lot of deer that size.
Love him! Look at all that bumpy trash at the base of his antlers...has a chance for a few stickers too. I'd shoot him.
As of right now he is #4. If he comes by and I get that feeling I will take him but I won't know til it happens.
I personally would love to see him in another year, but depending on what else is around it may be hard to let him walk.
I have been looking at my series of pics of Notch and he keeps chasing bucks away including the 12 pt I have on cam. So I am thinking he is either the dominate buck or a bully buck. It's going to be a fun to watch this play out this season.
I would definitely shoot him. But theres always that other side of me that looks at the bases on that deer and wonders how big is he gonna be next year?
