jbeck Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: Shooter????? I guess it's up to the guy looking through the sights. Personaly I've never hunted anywhere that a low 140" buck isn't a shooter. G L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: Shooter????? Bucks of that caliber are common here in Montana, although many local hunters have never seen one that size. During archery season he would be tough to pass up, but unless I needed the meat, the thought of seeing a bigger later would be enough to let him walk. He is a young deer with a lot of potential. In most areas of the country this question is a no brain-er. Definitely a trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: Shooter????? How old is he and what are your goals? If your goal is to take a deer with impressive antlers, regardless of age, then just shoot. If you're trying to maximize your herd and it's genetics, you need to determine if that buck is over 4.5 or 5.5 years old before you think about shooting.

vagobbln Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: Shooter????? I'll agree most people around here (VA) would take him out. Having praticed QDM for a number of years, I'm leaning towards letting him go. The deer is obviously a younger deer with great potential. One thing is for sure, when they quit having birthday's, they don't get any bigger! In the end, it's a personal decision, I think. I wouldn't shoot him based on a poll numbers though.

colescott1 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Re: Shooter????? Kinda dark for a shot, but if he happened by during legal hours, no doubt I'd be planning backstraps for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: Shooter????? Here in MS that's definately a shooter. In the places I've hunted in the midwest I'd have to pass him up. Why? Because I'm required to hunt for 150 class bucks in those midwestern places I have access to and he won't make 150 this year. I didn't draw a tag to hunt those areas this year but I'll be up there next year for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: Shooter????? Thanks all for your input. I would love to pass him. However we only have about 400 acres or so to manage, and I fear he will go over to the neighbors and a lot of them go by the idea of "brown its down". But it he could make it he would be awesome next year. Thanks again. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DesertTrophyHunts Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Re: Shooter????? This type of buck is the main reason you see high fences going up all over the place. Lots of folks ready to drop the hammer on a 2 1/2 yr old buck with a ton of potential. Hope I dont hurt anybodies feelings by saying that but its sad when you shoot a deer just so somebody else doesnt get him first. I think you should let him walk and take your chances, you will be hard pressed to ever kill a mature buck if you hammer the young ones. I would do everything in my power to keep him on the property. Food plots, salt licks, whatever it takes. If you have a short season you will have a good chance of seeing him next year. DTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
