If it was me and on my property I'd pass on both and shoot the 1st doe to walk by.

No question on the big one....here in Michigan he'll be poached before bow season...


Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......

It all depends what you say to be a trophy. Everybody has different opinion on trophy.

Unless I'm mistaken most average bow hunters on pressured lands would not let him walk by...
Heck I'd give him an arrow in Iowa...he looks to be a dandy with good character....

both look healthy to me. I would eat either one

Ive been needing a hat rack.


You only live once, so get over it!

Tactics may change but the goal remains the same.

I don’t understand why people ask this question or why people dis others for shooting any deer. What may be a trophy for one may not be for another. No one puts out pictures of their spouses and asks others whether they are good enough to keep or not. I personally don’t care what anyone else thinks of the deer I decide to shoot. I shoot a lot of 2 1/2 year old 8 pointers and am proud to do so. Its so much more about the hunt for me than the rack.

Since the big one is giving you the shot shoot.
If the smaller is legal shoot.

The ones you have on the wall are all dern big and none of them are gonna make the one in the picture look small. Them northern deer sure do grow good! Most of the land around here is broke up in smaller tracts so more young deer get killed too early to be monsters. There are still a lot of big ones out there but they are sneaky. I know a young lady that a 200 inch buck 2 years ago and last year killed one that went 175+-. So it can still be done.

That would be an easy decision where I hunt. The only thing is if you were to see a deer like that here it would be in a high fence!
