    I have to agree with rackcity, wait another 2 years and then you won't have a doubt in your mind. I had some hunters that hunt the property adjacent to the one I hunt and during gun season they would call at least twice a gun season saying they shot a buck and it ran onto the prop. I hunt and if I could come out and finish the recovery. well after 3 bucks that were the roughly same size as the one you have pics of I asked them how do you expect to get bigger bucks around here if you keep shooting, if not wounding and never recovering all the 2 1/2 and small 3 1/2 bucks? Makes me sick to think about. anyway, unless it is a youth hunter let him grow.

    i know this post is old but if you're hunting private property, let him slide this year. I'd rather go home empty handed than harvest a potential large buck.
