You could let your neighbor shoot it , then you could look at it on his wall ....... Or you could look at it in the ditch after it gets hit by a car.......

If the big one was still there after I picked up the gun I dropped, and put my tongue back in my mouth, and changed my drawers, and remembered how a to work the safety, and remembered where I put my shells, I would definitely shoot all around it until my gun was empty. Then I would just go back home and lie to everybody that I only saw does and spikes and they were out of range.

In NC, he might be a state record. Having said that I promised myself about 20 years ago to just shoot doe deer and leave the bucks for our children. Your buck could test my resolve. I know I would shoot it, then retire. I know what you mean Charles. Im over having to kill one. Never thought I would say that. Used to hunt 4 states every year. Michigan Wis. Penn. and finish in ohio. Now I just hunt behind the house. If its a good one ok if not its not life or death like it used to be. I'm ok and at peace with that. Now coon and coyote are a different story I will kill everyone I can till the day I die.lol

No question on the big one....here in Michigan he'll be poached before bow season... Same here, only they would have shot him last year. I like looking at antlers as much as the next guy and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't like to shoot him, but I've always been a meat hunter at heart and more so the older I get. Good luck with him.
