Or...Let 'em grow?

If he was on my farm, Im not even getting out of bed

[Lunatic]

I have no rules. If the buck steps out and it feels right I take it. Most of the time they don’t feet right so they usually walk

[Remember November]

Let him walk so the guy a few hundred yards from you kills him.. 

[Devil Horns]

If you are asking if I would shoot him the answer is yes. If you are asking if you should shoot him that is entirely up to you.

You must have made a decision cause it looks like a cell phone pictures. Well what was your decision? 

[Swamprat]

Schwack Lol.  Like lunatic said if he gets the blood flowing...wack em.  he's a  shooter down here in the pines on public land.  

All depends on situation. I've shot smaller and I've passed similar sized bucks.

Only you know whether you want to take the shot.  Generally, I look at a buck whether in a trailcam pic or in person and know right away.  If I have to think about it, that's a sign it's probably not one I want to take.  More often than not, I'm looking for reasons not to take a buck as opposed to why I should since I can shoot a doe for the freezer.  On the properties I hunt, there are far more poor genetic cull bucks that I'd target (especially if I had multi-season tags versus one tag that then ends my buck hunting for that season) than "shooter" level bucks.  With that said there's exceptions...you could have a great hunt/encounter with a certain buck that gets your blood flowing or is shared with someone you don't often hunt with and will be a memorable hunt.  In the end, do what you feel makes  a great hunt and memory for you!

If he makes you happy - take him!

[JHbowhunter]

it's fun to shoot them with the camera and try to catch them close again NEXT SEASON!

[dlist777]

This is the first season I would probably pass on this guy.  I've just started getting a little selective.  That being said, shoot what you want and don't worry what other hunters say / think.  It will drive you crazy.  

But, I might shoot him too...who knows.  

[birdshotnj]

If it makes your legs shake and your heart race, then shoot him

This is the lamest excuse in the book to shoot a young buck and tired of hearing it! If the guy a few hundred yards always killed a buck that was passed there would be not one buck older than 1.5 years. If you want to shoot a small buck thats fine, nothing wrong with it if that makes you happy but don't use the excuse if I don't shoot him the next guy will this season. Plenty of 2,3,4 year old bucks out there even on heavily hunted public land, they find a way!

If you like him shoot, if not just enjoy the view they are fun to watch too

[Psehunter]

If you have to post a picture of him from the stand and ask on here if he's a shooter then you obviously don't want to shoot him...I wouldn't even think of touching my phone for a picture of a deer that has my heart pounding, I'd be concentrating on shooting him...( I have seen a guy in Ohio on a guided hunt stop to take a picture of a shooter buck and then not get a shot at him because buck walked off by the time he put his phone away, guy went home empty that week lol)
