Guest luckyman4 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? You know your deer herd much better than we do, but a 7x6 that far outside the ears. . . if he gives you a good broadside shot at a distance you are comfortable at, do you really expect to see something bigger and get a better shot at it?? If so, then you should hold off, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? Wow, I'd say go for him! He is a brute in my opinion! Like nick, we don't have a ton of huge deer to choose from in Ny so any buck to walk by my stand is game, but if your buck came by I'd shoot him for sure (if I could stop shaking,lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Danbo Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? I say no. For us Eastern hunters, yes, but since your in Saskatuwan no. Let him live 1 more year. If your seeing larger deer, that's a great sign. Managing your deer for mature bucks is not easy when you see a bruiser like that walk under your tree. Knowing there are biger bucks, I'd wait. Shoot a doe for meat and wait for the buck to mature 1 more year. Unless of course, your finger slip on the release and ooops, he's dead!

Strut10 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? Your call, brother. Personally, were I to have a crack at him here in PA I would take it. But your decision will be a product of your environment. If I knew there were (substantially) better deer in the same area, it'd be a harder call. Good luck whatever you choose.

sureshot Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? in the south were I live this is a huge deer, you can see 140 class deer often but with the wierd points he is unique and he will gross high, He will score better than I think for sure, I am confident I could get him pretty easilly but there are 2 bigger ones that I have not figured out quite yet,I just wnated soem imput,I would be super happy with him but with the other 2 I know they will make B&C and to get one with a bow is great!

vagobbln Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? [ QUOTE ] I know he is a good deer but I have seen quite a few bigger [/ QUOTE ] From what you said and from what I hear about the potential in Catscratchawon, I'd let him walk. He's got great potential to be something really special, maybe even by next year. Down here in Virginia, different story. Just curious, how much pressure will he get from other hunters? In other words, if you leave him alone, what are his chances of "remaining upright" this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2008 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? Woah that one buck is really nice! You have some major bucks where you hunt! Definatley take him down though if you have the chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? [ QUOTE ] In my neck of the woods the "little" one in the back is a trophy. There is no question I would consider the larger one a shooter. [/ QUOTE ] Same here. A deer that caliber here would likely be a new county record, so I would not hesitate.

JPGS22 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? It's up to you. Me being from PA I would shoot him in a second but if I leaved were you did I wouldn't take him. Let me grow one more year and try for a bigger one.

SpcNape Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Re: is he a shooter? If that buck walked under my Oklahoma stand... I'd shoot at him. Probably would miss because I was shaking so badly, but I'd take the shot if it was offered. However, in Ok that would be a monster. If you regularly see bigger deer, pass him up and wait for bigger. If you haven't seen bigger at the end of season and get another chance... take 'em. Good luck, and thanks for the pics they gave me another case of the fever.
