woolybear Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Well, I've shot alot smaller:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccwhitey Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Our family philosophy is that you don't shoot them, bucks that is:hammer1:, unless you are going to mount them. Otherwise you can let them walk another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 see on the right side it dont look like hes done growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 We had thousands of pics from a stealth cam Jeramie. As said above, only you can answer if that deer is a shooter for you. I have also shot smaller. Here this year I know we have at least 3 or 4 different bucks that were coming around our property that had antlers too or past their ears. One I am sure is a solid mature deer and that one will be my primary focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ok let me say this. would ya'll shoot him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemodeerhuntersneighbor Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ok let me say this. would ya'll shoot him? Definitely would not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you like him, then shoot him. I personally wouldnt shoot him, because in a year or two he will be really nice. That doesnt matter though, if you like him then thats all that matters. Good luck this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ok let me say this. would ya'll shoot him? Looking at his face, I think he is a younger deer, for me probably not a shooter. Something to consider when making the decision whether or not I would shoot him would depend on where I was and on what else was around. Illinois is where the big boys roam, so think it likely there are much better deer around and I am holding out. Here in the backyard I have seen a couple deer better than that one so probably not here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) ok let me say this. would ya'll shoot him? That would be a big blacktail ...Yep, I'd shoot him, but don't decide yet, because there may just be a bigger guy out there. If you look real close, that one behind him looks even bigger Nice pics Jeremie. That cam always took good pics for me too.

woolybear Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If I see him here at home I'll send ya a pack of steaks in his memmory. I'll proudly snap a few field photos and post them here, add the antlers to the decorative bonepile and keep the loins for myself. I'll look at the antlers before I let out a big BUUUUUURP!!! (my compliments to the chef) and say to myself.... a hunt done right! Mission accomplished. Time for a nap with this full belly of the good stuff. I'll shoot your dang doe too and throw her in the freezer with him for company:) Just enjoy the upcoming season is all I can tell ya.

Adjam5 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I too have shot smaller bucks. Leave the cam out for a while and see what you get. If there are bigger bucks that tickle your fancy, then hold out for them. I know I'd be happy with a buck that size, but I know in my woods there are quite a few deer out there and I would not rush to get bone on the ground. That buck looks like a good 2 1/2 or maybe 3 year old. I love the way the antler hooks around on the right side. The points are all set, he will adding mass and tine length now. In a few weeks, you might even get pics of shedding velvet and bloody horns. Good Luck this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthehuntinman Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I have killed smaller bucks than that one but I don't think I would shoot that deer this year. There is a saying the trophy is in the eyes of the beholder so that would be up to you if you want to shoot him. So it shouldnt matter what everyone else thinks just want you want to shoot.

The_Kat Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I wouldn't shoot him. He is a 2 year old....he'll be a nice buck in two years. But as was said above, each to their own. If he trips your trigger, let yer bow or gun eat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hey Jeremy, I'd probably pass him, but I don't know what all's runnin around your woods. I've shot smaller, too.
