Should this be this seasons buck or leave him for next season ??

I was kinda thinking the same. The 9 point is in the back bush on my property so not to worried about him as im sure I will see him next year. Also started using that rackstacker mineral fountain last season and will continue to use it. Not sure how well it works for antler growth but they sure like it as they are even chewing at the roots of the tree that they dug up.
But as of right now I still got no bow as im still waiting for the parts

I shot a similar one last year .... big buck but on his way down in rack size...

Pretty small, I'd let them walk.

Just my two cents but the buck in the first pic looks like he is on the downslope of antler development... I think that is as big as his rack is going to get.... that 9 point would be a beauty next year!.... I would take the first one and leave the second.... JMOP

Exactly my thoughts on the first buck... so shoot it...

He's a decent buck for sure. If you can't decide on him, see if you can find a kid looking for a first buck. One like that will get him hooked for sure!

shoot or not to shoot?

Decent buck, but will be nicer in a year or two. Fill freezer with a fat doe if possible.
