How old and should I shoot him?

[peleejosh]

Strange buck on my place, what do you guys think?

 

[TN Larry]

From that one pic, fully mature 5.5 plus. The trophy is in the eye of the beholder, but I'd shoot him for body size and age alone.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Whether or not you decide to shoot the deer is all up to you. He looks at least 4.5 to me, that alone would make him a shooter fo me on my small farm.

 

[44 mag]

I agree with Larry. If he walks in front on he I am shooting.

 

[peleejosh]

I should have said, I'm going to shoot him for sure, would you?
Haha

 

[cbhunter]

Yes, yes I would

 

[waterman]

shoot

 

[Trey13]

Uh yes

 

[PossumSlayer]

Yep

 

[Jcalder]

He's probably not the highest scoring deer, but he's mature and there's no doubting it. I'm with Larry. He's a target simply based on age

 

[ADR]

Hope you don't have to drag that dude very far after you shoot him.

 

[Gravey]

Can't tell much about the rack but body alone I'm sending lead his way.

 

[megalomaniac]

He's all the way old.

Should you shoot? If you are hunting for big racks, he doesn't have it. If you are hunting for meat, you will get more off that 1 deer than shooting TWO 2.5yo bucks.

 

[Ski]

CHUTEM! CHUTEM!

 

[deerfever]

I would shoot what makes you happy! That's a mature buck for sure. If I was you and wanted to put my tag on it and got a chance then I would. It's all about what you want to do as a hunter . Good luck and don't look back with whatever decision you make!

I'll agree 5.5 at least .

 

[Union Co. Boy]

Mature shooter all day long! Don't hesitate. He's a pig!

 

[Big Pop]

That is a pig! If he walks by me he's going to get shot!

 

[TDW05]

Pull the trigger!

 

[sallee-bo]

I would warp the barrel shooting at that big toad!
