OKforester has it right .If we are hunting to try to impress someone else we are missing the reason for hunting .I hunt to do something that I enjoy .Whatever someone else wants to shoot is totally fine with me .Just don't judge me as an inferior hunter because I do not have those standards. There are some great pictures of nice buck here. Most would be glad to get something like them. But depending on the situation a one horn 3 point just might mean as much to the guy that killed him

We have almost 2 months of bow season before gun season. I like the peace and quiet of bow season to start with

Agreed above^^^
pressured land, Get him soon or someone else will be mounting him!

Without a doubt here. I know a young man locally that has poached plenty.

He's gotten caught this last year with an out of season turkey in the back of his truck.

There is still more to come on his case. He had 2 bobcats(untagged) in his freezer plus a lot of venison meat.

He lost some deer mounts, no tags.

More to come.

Not a whole lot off pressure around early. Latter when the crops are off and he is standing along a road at noon locked up looking at a doe laying on the ground then the word gets out perty quick.lol

Why are you asking us morons? Do you want to shoot him?

If he does not fit your estimation of a good mounting buck let him go. You can only kill them once.

What are you asking us for?... If you're legal, shoot the one that you want to.

4 years ago December my dad passed. He always got excited every time he saw and had a chance to kill a buck didn’t matter if it was a spike or a nice one. We always had very good deer hunting and it just took some time sitting still and waiting and you could kill dandy 140-150 bucks once we really got a good herd here in Ky. He always shot the first buck he could get.
3 weeks before he passed with a terminal brain cancer and suffering with chronic COPD he killed a busted up 7 pointer and at 72 he had killed hundreds of deer he was shaking like a 10 year old on his first hunt. It always always always excited him to kill a buck ; period.
He always said we didn’t have any deer here when he was a kid growing up. I am 53 and have had many successful hunts an some nice bucks as well. Now I like killing a few half grown yearlings for the table and just watching the horns go back in the woods. I am ready for a fresh tenderloin off a 60 pounder.
Kill what you enjoy.
