crazylegz70 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I am really debating on taking this deer. I live in Illinos and this buck is on property on the edge of town. I am hunting this property already and 2 deer have been taken here in the last week. What do you think???? First bow buck BTW.

Randy Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Welcome to the RT campfire!! Looks like an 18" inside spread 8 pointer!! That's a bigger buck than most hunters will ever shoot. For your first buck, I would not even hesitate!! Go get em'!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 the decision is totally yours if that buck makes you happy then smoke em. He is a nice looking buck!! Good luck and welcome to RT!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bowhuntr_15 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Welcome to RT!! And no doubt about it.....I would be shooting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 He would be hard to pass up, but he is in velvet so may look a little bit bigger than he really is. He would be a very nice first buck, but that is your choice to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobblerBuster618 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 id be pulling that string back picking a spot and letting that arrow fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegz70 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 hmmmm I didnt mention that i havent seen him in a while, but i think considering the situation I am in with the hunting location i probably will take him. I am hunting on about 4 acres right on the edge of a small town. (Urban Buck) I just hope when the rut is in full swing he shows back up to visit with the 8 does i have been seeing.

hoosierhunter Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 For a first buck I would let the muzzy eat. It all depends on what your trying to accomplish. Personally I wouldn't shoot, but that's b/c I know what's around my area. My first bow buck was just a little 6 pointer, but I can promise I was as proud as all get out over him.
