Is he a shooter or would you pass?

If you know you can get a bigger guy I'd personally wait it out. That is a very nice buck ,give him a year or two and he'd be huge.

I would shoot that deer around here, if I had a draw and lots of time in an area with Mega Bucks I might think about holding out. He has good forks on both sides and is a good buck, there is no shame in getting one like that.

d make a really nice "First" mulie for me.....

 

[Dmay]

Didn't get drawn for Mulie this year - so I guess he walks.

Like others have said, really depends on the area you are hunting. Nice deer anywhere, but far from the best you MAY do in many areas. A big deer is relative to the area you are in.

I should have known how all the guys from the east would have answered

I'd shoot him with a bow but not a rifle, he doesn't look very wide {25"?}. They always look big with their ears up like that.

For instance the Buck in the middle looks pretty decent running away here

But he's the one on the right in this picture, hardly worth a second look

I'm afraid I would be knocking off the safety and getting ready to let 'er rip.
The Muleys I've been seeing lately have real trashy racks, the clean ones like that are hard to come by. I would imagine he is mid 150's, maybe more, I have a hard time without his ears out to tell, but he is a nice one!

All clear!...

Don't be picky and shoot it. The next one is always bigger.

 

[TMaC]

I'd love to see some with junk on it, I seem to only ever catch real clean 4x's out in the open. Saw one last night that's going to give me nightmares until I'm drawn again

[todbartell]

in my books, a shooter

 

[back40sniper]

I would wait until season is almost over before thinking of taking that one. However, I have managed to perfect a way to see way bigger deer. tag that "little" one and for the next few days will see way bigger deer, never fails!

I would shoot that deer. Any deer like that is good for the taking

 

[Jamie Hunt]

Dont ever judge a deer from behind or above.

I would want a better look at him

[Johnn Peterson]

I'd wait, just long enough to get my finger on the trigger or release aid.

 

[wetcoaster]

I wouldn't even think about it.....bang....flop.

My advice, it depends on what you have gotten before. If you already have a 160-170 then no, but if you haven't gotten your first bigger buck, then get out and grab it. My motto is get your first big one under your belt, then get picky.

 

[Levi Garrett]

Would depend on what part of the season , tags available and so on. Killing a deer is a small part of the hunt for me , the last week , this deer would not walk away, unless I knew a booner was in the same area, and I had a deer in the freezer.

I wasnt asking for advice, I was asking would "YOU" shoot or would you pass.

The question was hypothetical...
