I had pics of him last year so I agree with you, I'm not convinced he couldn't put on a few more inches next year, I thought he was 3.5 last year but could have been 4Great buck....mature.....I'd hunt him....and if I didn't kill him this season I would be running cameras hoping to see him show back up next year..... contrary to popular belief...you can see him again the following season....it can and does happen.....in other words I wouldn't give up on him if I didn't get him this season....good luck.
