    Default Shooter??

    So far this has been the largest buck I've seen. Would you take him with a bow? He's not all that wide but he is very unique.

    It would be tough passing on him, but that double beam would be out of this world next year. I would have to pass.

    Ummmm, I don't know. Depends on my mood I'd say. Probably not, but he is unique.

    I'd shoot him. No doubt. Very unique buck.

    I'd take him in a heartbeat. He is unique alright. Worth getting him mounted too.

    You know how to get a tame buck?












    You neek up on him.










    You know how to get a Unique Buck like that one.









    Tame way, unique up on him.

    If I had the luxury of passing him I would, but if he walked past me I would probably shoot him.

    Tough call, but in the area I hunt I know there are bigger deer, and I know that at least on one property I hunt he'd have a decent chance of living to see another year. I'd hope to have the willpower to pass, but wouldn't blame anyone that decided to take him.

    I wish I could say I'd pass, but if he walked in front of me, I'd definitely be shooting.

    it depends. here are the questions you have to ask yourself.
    are you hunting public land?
    have you ever shot a buck this big before?
    if your hunting on private land, what are the chances he will survive to next year?
    after answering these questions, then make your decision. it should be very easy for you to decide. if you havent shot anything this big, then Whack him, if he wont make it to next year, Whack him. if its on public ground, Whack him.. see how easy it is to decide..lol..

    when i ask myself these questions, i have to say i would have to pass him up. hes a nice buck though and will be a dandy if you pass him for next year
