You're on stand and here comes a pretty good looking buck, maybe 2.5-3.5 years old. He has at first what seems to be a nice rack but when he gets right in front of you you can see he has 4 points broken off of his main beams making a once 10 pointer now a 6 pointer. Would you shoot him anyway?

Probably. Antlers don't mean much to me anymore. I shoot just about anything that comes in range if I feel like shooting one.
