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...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

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....

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!

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.

That is a great buck! You talking bow hunting him or rifle? 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!

Ambush32:No question on the big one....here in Michigan he'll be poached before bow season... 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.
