Hope this works, to shoot or not to shoot. That is my question :razz:

[browningboy]

I'd let the little guy grow, give him a couple years and he'll be a hog!

[brotherjack]

One word - BANG

[Will]

Too bad about the broken side.......
In Reg 3.......Yes I'd have tried:wink:

[Chuck]

Just like tracks....you can't eat horns!

[bruin]

Tough call, as a BC buck, yes I would've taken him

[Steeleco]

I'm with the Bro. Bang!!!

[Derek_Erickson]

Kabang! He'd get it

[BCJunior]

Why not? thats a sweet rack proves he was a fighter ;)

[1/2 slam]

No...He walks

[Bigbuckadams]

He was the best Whitey I saw this year, had it been a full rack, he would have gone down. I watched him for about 45 minutes in total, a doe had his undivided attention. My freezer was almost jam packed, so I decided to pass on him. Saw lots of good bucks, tons of dinks, but if I was gonna buy another freezer, he had to be relatively big. He will be bigger next year :smile:. Saw 2 other bucks with busted off tines in the same area, so they must've been having some fun!!

[TIKA 300]

I 2nd,3rd,4th,5th on the !!!BANG!!!

[BANG!]

I say Bang! also

kind regards - Mr Bang!

[Creeker]

I think he is a younger deer. Good eating but i would have let him walk even with both sides. Great potential !!

[ape]

Hmmm Whitey sammich

[scuba]

definately going down if i needed meat but otherwise think what he will be in years to come!!!

[Fisher-Dude]

I'm right in the middle of BBQing a couple of steaks from a whitey I took last year about that same size. It's so tender, the fork slips out when I try to lift them off the grill. So, I'd pop him!

If your freezer is full, however, and you don't think you can use the meat, then passing on him may be the better option.

[Gamebuster]

You bet..he's a gifthorse standin around like that..besides, broken antlers give character

[Orangethunder]

Looking in my freezer...Bang:-P!!

[MIL720]

He walks right into my x-hairs....He'd be done!!

[cbearw]

Nice when its a great rack.... but..... most of the time it seems I need the meat so the hammer would have probably fallen. Nice big bodied whitetail though and I'm glad he's probably still out there.

[stanway]

I wouldn't hesitate.

[Schutzen]

Hard up for meat..take him. Looking for trophy.. no let him walk.

[Brambles]

Nice buck but I would have let him walk, had to let a good mulie walk this year too because of a broken mainbeam so I know I could do it.

[M.Dean]

If you had his horns on your wall, every dick head that walked into the room, the first words out of his mouth would be "Be nice if he had 2 horns EH!!" What, did you hit him with your "Truck!!!" No, i'd let him go, maybe next year try to find him again. It would give you some thing to look forward to!

[mikek blacktail]

Hard up for meat..take him. Looking for trophy.. no let him walk.
Same here.

[RMG]

Definately wouldnt knock anyone for nailing him in his tracks. But I would let him grow.

[Sharkey]

I'd have done it. He'd have been a great "First Whitetail" for me.
~D

[bsa30-06]

with out hesitation........BANG

[Woodrow]

i would of hamerd him, but then he turned; I still would of shot him.

[3kills]

in a second yup

[hunter1947]

He would be meat in the freezer for sure.

[model88]

BANG BANG out go the lights:grin::grin:

[oldtimer]

Open the freezer momma. Bang flop in a minute Mike

[NEEHAMA]

yup, heed be dead.

[Gerry]

Without a doubt he would be down.

[BCrams]

I'd have to have an empty freezer and have it being the last hour, last day to shoot him.

[kloosterboer]

Boom he's dead! End of story.

[KevinB]

i would of hamerd him, but then he turned; I still would of shot him.

ha ha, exactly what went through my head. Whenever I get out for Whitetails its for a meat buck only...maybe that's why I haven't ever seen a whitetail (while hunting) that's any bigger than that one?:roll:

[Wildman]

Yup, I would have taken him.

[huntwriter]

If I still had a tag to fill and it would be the last day of the season he would be down for the count.

A wise man said once; “Never pass up the first day what you end up shooting on the last day.”

[The Hermit]

Glad you let him walk... leaves him out there for me! Swoosh <sound of arrow> Thawack <sound of arrow hitting that beauty>. Maybe trophy hunters should all take up bow hunting exclusively... LOL

[kennyj]

Nope! I'd let him go.Maybe see him next year with both horns.

[tooley]

It depends, how much moose meat do I have in the freezer?

[LeverActionJunkie]

If I can get a whitetail to hang around that long this year.....Bang for sure I need more meat and since I'm not a squirrel I wouldn't starve on account of the missing antler.

[lightmag]

tough call!! nice one side too bad about the other, it's a meat question!!

[meathead]

letem go and letem grow.

[bucktrack]

thats it i need a new area to hunt! I have never seen a whitey hang around even just to get my gun to my shoulder. I've seen big ones and small ones but anything with 4 points would vanish in seconds. Put it this way, I would only have seen that he had bone and I would have pulled the trigger.

[Tikka7mm]

Pretty tough call. I believe in Karma so if my freezer is full he walks; empty and he's down for sure....but a nice deer anyways. Hopefully you'll get a shot at him next year.

[Grandbois]

I would drop the hammer in a heartbeat

[jrhunter]

Without a doubt.

[hunter1947]

I'm a meat hunter and anything that is legal as long as it has some size to the animal ,down it goes ,can't eat antlers.
