Shoot or pass?

have this guy regularly.. seen him a few times.. if he gets close enough should a wack him or let him go another year? Any guesses on age or score? Sorry not the best pictures

 

I'd wack him! Don't know how old he is though.

 

Kinda what i was thinking i have a bigger one on the farm and ive alreay shot one buck and just ahh if i shoot him and buck out you already know that big one will step out lol but hes a nice buck its a hard decision lol

 

Depends on what else you are hoping for. I would have no hesitation, but I hunt on public land...

 

Depends on what is normal for the area you hunt. That would be dead on sight in the area I hunt.

 

Not enough info for me. Most likely he would get a pass from me unless I was able to determine from his body that he was a mature buck. But, don't let my opinions sway you in any way. We all have different goals and expectations.

 

Yeah i mean that would be my 2nd biggest i do belive just kinda wondern opinions

 

I hear ya man if be hard for me to pass him due to im not a huge trophy hunter but i do like to hunt the bigger ones when i got meat in the freezer

 

Right i hear you bud this is my first year im really not shooting anything that walks im trying to get a nice buck hopefully

 

Soo goter done tonighttt

 

That's awesome! Congratulations! Great looking buck.

 

Thank you sir!

 

I think you know the answer OP...I think you know.

 

Nice buck!!! Looks like a big deer. What did he dress out to be?

 

I've logged many hours this year already and have one one little button buck in range so far. That's it!!! So for me this buck would be dead without ever thinking twice about it.

 

Have any of you ever seen a deer taken down by Wolves ? It aint pretty ! I would rather be shot !!!!

 

Having already killed a nice buck like you did, I would let him go if there's a reasonable chance of him surviving until next year. Just kick back and see if a true monster comes by. It seems it wouldn't be impossible where you're hunting.
