Would you shoot this deer or consider leaving it for seed for more like him in the future
? No right or wrong answer. I realize it could be a trophy of a lifetime. Just wondering what others might consider?

Which one? Shoot the right one, leave the left one for seed!
I'd shoot it......it's had a few years to spread them already. There was a time, we had a odd strain running through the home place where all the bucks had a good antler on left side, but the right was a deformed blob. There were 3-4 ranging from spikes to three points (blacktail) running around. During rut, my brother and I decided to pass in a really nice buck because he had control of the does, and was surrounded by 1 antler bucks.... we hoped maybe it would help clean up the genes.

without hesitation I would harvest that, it is far to dangerous to be left in the field with that headgear

A deer like that has most likely already spread quite a bit of seed around....
Definitely a shooter.

Depends where I was hunting. Most public land- heck yes. Trophy mule deer unit, probably not

Depends if my wife was with me. If she was she'd be like if he ain't 200+ I don't want any more on the wall. Lol if she's not I'd be like, I thought he was bigger!

No, If I was you I would not shoot it.
Oh-where was the location of the buck.
I saw it and shot my phone!
