I've got a dilemma. I like this buck, and I know 100% that he's at least 3 yrs old because I've been seeing him every year. He could be over that but body characteristics don't indicate that. He has always been a 8pt, has gotten a little bigger each year but not a lot. Im in a 1 buck co. so Im not sure about taking him. Im guessing 130s? Any thoughts?

In situations like this I let my gut dictate the trophy status and yours seems to be on the fence. That...is the answer to your question. He doesn't seem to be tripping your trigger.
Perhaps you could post a picture.

I've passed on a lot of good opening season deer over the years. I'd say its about a 75-25 percent ratio that I should of shot. A 130 inch 8pt is a good deer, unless you are in a really good area. I will say for me unless it breaks 140 and is mature or is a good cull I won't shoot and I'm in an area where a 140 is not the norm. My feeling is you get to a point to where you pass on good deer and hold your breath that they reach a point to where there is no question when you shoot. To each is their own.
