And that's the double problem. He's a cull even if he's 3.5.
There's simply no way he's 3.5 unless the area is just really ultra poor genetically. IMHO, he'd be showing some mass if he were any older than 2.5.
My point being, if the area largely produces 6-8 point narrow racks then there's no real genetic boost by taking him out. If on the other hand wide racked 8 and 10's are common then the management decision is really pretty simple and this buck can be culled.
One must consider the potential of the area when implementing a management plan and deciding what to cull. What may be considered a cull in Texas may be as good as its gonna get in the Florida panhandle. The science and research is pretty clear that there's no arbitrary one-size fits all management standard.

Look at the coloring and body mass that the deer has. I would shoot it. I don't believe there is any way that the deer is young and for him to have that much body mass with that little horns, he needs to be on a dinner plate.

Why can't hunters learn that you can't judge deer by their horns. You have to go by what their body tells you and not even look at the horns. That body says 3.5yrs old any where in the south. A 2.5yr old has a much slicker neck and body.
Yes it needs to be shot if you are culling for genetics.
