          Lord have mercy!

          Tough call, I would probably shoot him.

            I've only ever seen 1 other native deer with this many legit drops (actually he had 8) and he was killed 32 years ago about a mile from where this buck lives.

            I suspect he will push drops every year, but no idea if he will have this many... He's had drops on his right side for 2 years prior. This is the first year he has pushed them on his left.
            do you have pics of the old buck? cool to know!!

              Personally I would ice that sucker and not think twice about it.

                I love him. He sure may do better in the future but he is already a jackpot. May be time to kill that one. Or.... You could just give him to Tuco and he probably cant kill him anyway.

                  I don't let deer like that walk any further than the nearest clearing.

                      Oh my! I'm pretty sure you already have your answer. If I were in your shoes, I would have to let him walk, but I would be keeping a close eye on him. That deer wouldn't be able to crap without me knowing about it. I wonder if you could get a discount from covert if you buy 1000 cameras in bulk

                      In all seriousness, he would be dead if he walked in front of me, but would walk if I were in your shoes.

                        If you have a reasonable expectation that your neighbors won't get him, and you are managing your herd pretty tight, I would be inclined to let him get to 6.5 next year. Or maybe even 7.5. Awesome buck, and good luck whatever you decide

                          Always a gamble but on your place I would let him walk....

                              Is this the same buck you posted pictures of last year that made a big jump from 3 to 4 that had a few drops?

                                That's a tough one. Kill him, and someone gets the trophy of a lifetime. Let him walk, he could get even better, OR you could find him dead in the offseason. I don't know what I would do, since I've never had deer half that size, or had a management plan as strict as yours. He's a beautiful deer! Good luck on whatever you decide
