End of season is near. You only get maybe a couple 1-hour sits after work and a couple sits on weekend. Your places to hunt are just okay at best. You've taken a couple antlerless deer already. Would you shoot this buck? Does he need shooting anyway? (apologies for the quality).

Hard to say from that pic. If you want him then shoot him.

What NT said. I have passed better late in the season and I have shot worse. If I had enough in the freezer, I'd see what he looks like next year.

If I've took a couple of deer already, I won't "need" the meat. I wouldn't put him on the wall and I don't necessarily believe in "cull" bucks.

I would pass. He may turn your "ok" spots into a better then ok spot next season.

BUT.. If you want to shoot that sucker, and he flickles your pickle, shoot him.


The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

You can kill him or wish you had in a few weeks. I tell my son, if you'd be proud of it kill it.

More I look I don't think he's a cull. I think rack is broke.
I want to shoot the one what did the breaking.

Reminds me of a saying, "should've seen the other guy", he might look worse than the one in the pic.

if ya ain't going to eat him or mount him don't shoot him.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Troy is right. Don't shoot it if you don't have a definitive need for it. Same as any game.

Yeah I think I'll pass. I'll look good to see if he's deformed or broke but it looks broke to me.

Agree. Not doing the world a favor by killing a deer.

He was an 8 until I seen this pic. Last I have of him was when it was cold a couple weeks ago, if it's the same deer. If so, he has broken his left brow tine also.

Seen lots of deer broke up this year. Don't know if drought had something to do with it or not.
