    Got a few other small bucks on the camera, but this is the biggest one I've seen. The land is 80 acres I have access to. Is he a shooter or let him walk?

    I'd probably shoot him if he was the biggest one on camera. There's always a chance something bigger will come through, but you never know. As long as you are happy with him, that's all that matters.

    Whether or not he's a shooter is up to you!

    I would have to agree that in the end its your decision, but I would have a hard time keeping the arrow nocked if he walked by me knowing he is the biggest one on camera!

    Up to you, but I know if he walks past my stand, I am letting the air out of him.

    Don't ask others...decide for yourself. Asking others is whats wrong with hunting in many ways...hunting is a personal experience we get to share with others and congratulate or speculate...but should never change that personal experience to fit others opinions.

    That is your call. He may be the best buck in the area. It is still early and a lot of bucks have yet to show up. He may lure a bigger one in when the Rut kicks in.

    that is a matter of opinion, but the best anyone can tell you is make your own goals on what you want to get out of every hunting season, and try you best to achieve them. that is what makes hunting such a great sport.
