I agree on 3.5, and I'm with you on letting him walk ... but I'd have a hard time faulting someone for killing that deer. He's a really cool looking buck. I'd try to get a lease-wide agreement that this particular deer is not to be shot this year. He ought to be easy enough to identify with the 3 muley forks. But, if its just a recommendation (not a hard and fast rule) that he get a pass, I wouldn't at all be surprised to end up seeing him in the bed of a pickup truck.
