Another 'Do NOT Kill'

[megalomaniac]

Just kidding. I put 1 or 2 top end bucks on my 'DO NOT KILL' list most years. But when a buck pushes 150, I just can't tell all my hunters to pass him, especially when he is on an area where 3 other properties join and their hunters are not selective. While I would never intentionally shoot this buck, I would be thrilled if my hunters killed him.

Same location... this 3.5yo WILL be on the do not kill list

I would pull the trigger so quick that I would likely miss. :)

That buck has the it factor! Does he normally hang around after he sheds velvet?

Fantastic buck! That would be one to watch for sure.

 

[BSK]

Crazy good bucks!

I've already shot that buck twice in my head. Very cool

Great deer. You must have a lot of restraint if you could really let him walk.

 

[Tn Joe]

Just curious why you wouldn't shoot him?

 

[redblood]

Thats a great deer for sure

Same thoughts. Is he 3.5? I pass a lot of good deer, but he'd be dead if he walked in front of me

He is only 3.5.

I won't intentionally shoot a 3.5yo, I dont care how big he is. This buck should push 170 next year as a 4.5yo.

That being said, he is just too big for me to put on my 'do not kill' list for everyone else.

And besides, id rather someone else i let enjoy the farms kill him.

He is a slam dunk for velvet.... jumps this created fence crossing headed to beans every evening.

I may send a friend's wife after him. Be a cool buck for her to take.

That's a good perspective to have.
