This guy has been at my stand every day for the past week and I'm trying to decide whether or not he needs to go to the butcher. At first I thought he would be a really nice buck next year, but that's a lot of tine length for a young buck.

Has he hit his prime or worth giving another year?

Give him a year. But he would not step out without me taking a shot.

He could stand another year to get bigger.

However he wouldnt be standing in front of me for more than 1.7 seconds...

I'm with ya, he'd be the nicest buck I've ever let walk. But I'm trying to 'manage' my lease a little better than I have in the past. I'm maturing I think.

He's pretty, and I would shoot it. But it looks to be a 3 1/2 and he will be sexy next year.

This buck would not stand a chance in the land I hunt.

You can take a chance and let him walk and hope he makes it through this season cause he will be pretty damn good next year.

These responses have proved my fear. I let him walk and the guy next to me shoots 20 min later.

I would just like to thank you for posting an Outdoors related topic on this board. Maybe we can get rid of the OT types we came here to get away from once that bullshite attention whore thread goes away.

Yeah, I'm mad bro

I wouldn't say managing per se. Just trying to make concious decisions with the hope of killing something larger the next year.

ETA - South of Shreveport, family lease.

I've let better bucks walk because of camp rules in N MS, but in S AL, this would be a no doubt shoot it.

Shoot him if there is a good chance of this happening.

Take that shite to the OT man, we don't need this board filled up with hardleggin and attention whores. There is a place for that, and it ain't here. shite like this has about stopped me from coming to this site all together.
