Whether I would mount the deer or not has nothing to do with my decision to shoot or let him walk. Most of mine end up as euro mounts or handles anyway, as I am running out of wall space and I have more critters on my bucket list. That deer looks to be at least 4 years old, maybe more.
I personally would try to see if he had a pedicle on the other side at all. Sometimes, skull injuries keep them from ever growing another antler. I have watched the same deer for 3 years on a club in Alabama. He's off limits because of one of their rules about spread instead of age. Last time I saw him, he was 5 years old and still had one antler and a haired over pedicle on the other side.
If I see that one again this year, I will shoot and pay the fine if there is one. On your deer, if you just see smooth hair on the other side, then I would shoot. If you don't have 1000 acres plus, you can bet someone will shoot, and it may as well be you.

I was just saying what happened. No need to be a dick! By the way I lease to the land to the neighbor, so I knew it could happen.
