This one needed to go and I was glad to do it. He was never going to get any real tine height and as you can tell one side is wide the other more classic "U" shape. I'm a bow hunter but I killed this deer with muzzle loader at 25 yds. I'll post better pics tomorrow in the light.

I'm a bow hunter but I killed it with a muzzle loader? We are what we use I am afraid. Agree with Catman, it's a good deer no matter. Congrats.
 
So I guess today you were a muzzleloader hunter. A lot of people bow hunt and also kill deer with guns at times. You don't have to excuse yourself for using a MZ . . . they're fun to shoot deer with. And you call him a "cull" if you want to, but I'd call it a dam fine deer. Congrats

What he said, Unless your hunting a high fence, there is no such thing as a cull, if you think this is a cull buk, there are many more out there like him, so you have your work cut out for you. Either way nice deer, with or without killing it with a muzzleloader. Slow down on the Tv deer hunts, they are for show most of the time, and a big Ars commercial for selling tons of crap that don't even work. Glad you killed this good deer..
 
Cull buck...yes. Bow hunter...yes. Was not allowed to use bow during gun only in Illinois. On my farm here in Illinois this is definitely a cull. If I was allowed to use my bow then that's what I would have used. The gun only tag allows for an extra buck to be taken, this is the reason i bought the gun only tag. This is not a big deer for here but I had no questions I was going to take him when he came out.
 
I only dream of the day when the very best on my farm can match this buck. :)

But I know what you mean about him being a cull. He doesn't have the classic main beams and his tines are too short.

Still, the day I can see something with that much antler on my farm, I'll be jumping for joy. Hopefully it's not too many years away.
 
1,000's of hunter would be glad to CULL that buck for you.I prefer shooting and hunting with my M.L..I'm a Hunter by choice and was happy to get the Big gun out yesterday.
Congradulations on a excellent buck.Glad you are very pleased with him.

LOL... I don't really watch hunting shows. I'm fortunate enough to hunt good land in both TN and IL. I'm not being conceded but I know what I have on my farms and therefore target larger bucks for the most part but enjoy the cull kills as much. I only used a muzzle loader because I had no choice, gun only no bow allowed. I don't mind because it allows me to kill an extra buck. TV shows...yeah right, more like great land and good skills.
To all the others who gave me congrats and left the jealous remarks out of your comments... Thanks, it's greatly appreciated.

not yet but will. This is a younger buck 3.5 at best but more than likely a 2.5.

Seems pretty stupid to cull a possible 2.5yo considering you don't what they'll do for a few more years.

I don't know why some people think they need to justify every deer they shoot with some type of "management" rational. Just seems ungrateful.

If this deer is truly 2.5, then you killed a very high end 2.5 yr old for any area and this goes to show what a detriment the term "cull" has become.

If your happy with the kill, (which it looks like you are by the pics you're posting of it)then just leave it at that without trying to justify anything. I would still like to see the jawbone.

BTW, Congrats on a very nice deer.
