danthehuntinman Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I had this buck 4 yrds from me with my bow in the beginning of novermber. I let him go cause I think he is 2.5 to 3.5 kind of regret it now cause of his palmation on that one side cause its so big. I just hope he keeps it this year and gets alot bigger. That pic was just 3 or 4 days ago so he made it through the season so far just has to make the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnatecsteve Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 On a managed farm in Illinois or Iowa.....pass. West Virginia, heck yeah!! I'm not a "trophy" hunter anyhow, I just hunt some pretty decent property where I may have the opportunity to cross paths with a really good buck. I wouldn't hold off on shooting depending on what you think others would think, do what your hunting instinct tells you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Really depends on what farm I was hunting. Imagine what he is going to look like next year.... Same here. All except for one farm/land I hunt I would have shot him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Looks like a real nice buck to me, don't think he is a 2.5 year old, believe he is older. Bow or gun either one, no way I could pass on a deer like that here in the backyard. If I hunted a large enough farm with neighbors practicing qdma it might be a bit different, but with so many brown its down shooters around most folks around here think I am nuts for passing up ear width and bigger 8 pointers.

Ethan Givan Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 If hunting here behind the house, then I would probably shoot. Hunting the big farm I have several miles from the house, then he would get a pass. He will be an awesome deer in another year or two with that palmation.
