My 6. No brows. Comtemplating....

[Steve7]

Got some vid's of this guy.  Been blowing up my primary stand with scrapes and rubs...  We'll see.  Depends on the moment.

looks like a 2 year old thats 70 pounds of meat i would take him

[Steve7]

Thanks Greeny.  If he gives it to me I'll porbably let some carbon fly.  He's right on the line for me.

That's a nice buck for sure probably only 2.5 yrs. old. That deer will be a real nice buck in the future. I would let him walk but it depends on your hunting situation. I would shoot if others won't let him pass on that property.

I have a similar one on property in 8g if he had brows I would but being a six I think I'll pass. But who knows if he actually walks by

[BigVal]

I'd shoot

Let him grow

Pass on a young deer with potential....

[bkln]

That's a shooter....

Who cares what strangers on the internet think. Shoot what you want to shoot, pass what you want to pass. Legally of course.

The same 6 at my dripper mock scrape.  Coming closer....

Waiting on a deer to shoot is just like closing time at a bar ,your standards drop the longer you sit there.

[grampy]

To shoot or not to shoot. Only you need to answer that question. Best of luck to you no matter your decision!

[Chris B]

If he was in my location, I would shoot. Let us know how you make out!

I'd find it difficult not to shoot !

[Steve7]

He and another 8 just damaged some crops on my prop.  Busted up a 3 chestnut trees I planted 4 years ago.  He dies now.  Appreciate the comments and keep you all posted. A little pissed as i just saw the trees.

[grampy]

The cool thing about hunting is you get to make the choice!

[Steve7]

Thanks Gramps.  We're I am it's out of control.  I'm blessed with the opportunity to choose.  Be well and good luck.

Here's the basket 8 smelling my camera.

Wow he really checked out the cam!  Cool video!

Looks like the 6 I took last season in 3N during shotgun....I kind of wish I'd let him walk, but no promises that he'd be around this year or next especially on state land; and the fact there was a guy 250 yds down the trail (and down wind) from me.  In the same breath I've had several "deer damage" issues of my own and I was pretty ticked too.  However, deer don't understand our "rules."  If either of them walk in front of you, you'll be faced with decision.  You will either make the decision or the decision will be made for you.  Good luck with that....either way it'll be a rush. After how this season has gone, I wish I would have shot that spike under my stand last week, at least it came to the inside of ears; but, I'm not bitter nor do I feel incompetent.  Ha, ha.   We won't talk about the shot at that doe I cleanly missed because I didn't drop my bow/anchor arm...first season back after 12 years and it has been humbling.  Enjoy the success, whether you shoot or not.

[Steve7]

Clean miss on this 6 at dusk @ 42 yards.  Disappointed but it was a tough shot up hill quartering away but shot was true.  Just misjudged the distance by a fraction.  No blood on arrow.  He wasn't spooked much and didn't know what was going on.  Happy I didn't hurt him and got out quietly.  Going to have some burbon and lick my wounds....

IMHO I would harvest him.  No brow tines means cull in my book.  If he hasn't grown any by now he probably won't be growing them anytime soon.  While he will get bigger every year i'd rather have a buck mating does with better genetic potential.

Beautiful buck either way.
