Whitetail, shooter? Or would you pass?

[Savage 12BVSS]

If you'd shoot him on the last day of the hunt, shoot him on the first day.

Thats it in a sentence............round here that would be a shooter any year. No need to think on this one

 

[Backwoods towny]

Very nice. Would for sure shoot. Don't see many like that here in pa. Atleast during legal hunting times. Guess I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time
Best of luck to all

Great looking buck!

 

[SEGARE]

Thick to sagging in the brisket, belly sagging just a bit, Roman nose- I'd put him at at least 4.5, and probably 5.5. Genetically, he's probably close to max.

 

[Pointers]

Yep you bet he's as old as he's going to get

That's a nice Buck, but not a giant. If it was early in the season and I knew there was bigger Bucks, I would probably let him walk. Or if I was on a paid hunt in Pike county Illinois, or Buffalo county Wisconsin I would hold off unless it was the last day. I know, they say never pass on the first day on a animal you would take on the last day, but I've taken several nice Whitetails that I wouldn't loose sleep if he walked. Nice Picture!!

Took this photo a few weeks ago along the Little Powder River, eastern Montana:

Thought you hunters would enjoy. And no, I would not pass on this buck. Nope!

Best of luck all!

In a heart beat !

I'm on the fence on this one. Have a couple pics of him now. He looks like he would be a great deer next year but I don't think my neighbors will give him a pass.
Not nearly as nice of a photo as the OP. But same predicament.

Update on this two years later. I never actually had a chance at him. Lol. Go figure, **** cameras get my hopes up.

Let him walk , directly into my freezer .

I'd be pulling the trigger. Great pic by the way.

By God. Here in Wv. That would pass as a Boone and Crooket.
