This buck has started showing up at one of our food plot feeders. He has a normal 4 point side on the left and what appears to be a common base triple beam of the right side. My opinion is that he is only 3yrs old but my dad & brother think he is mature and has enough charecter to justify killing him if they get a chance. What is you opinion on this bucks age?

3.5
I would leave him and see what he does next yr. -
3.5. Make sure you're as scent free as possible
.
Does "character" justify shooting a young buck? Just curious. Usually a young buck with "character" can get really interesting given a few more years.Last edited by HoustonHunter; 11-13-2014, 08:29 AM.Comment

Certainly not mature and due to the character, among other reasons, he would be firmly placed on the do no choot 'im list for me.Comment

He looks 3 to me too.Comment

I think 3.5 and that he could blow up into a freak. I would give him a year to give a better idea of what he may do. If he does then I'd let him go to at least 5 or 6 to be a super freak!Comment

The only justification IMO to shooting a young buck is if it is a new hunter and it is their first one. His character is all the more reason to let him walk to meComment

do not shoot list for sureComment

He might be 4.5 but likely 3.5 . He will be bigger next year if he lives. But he may go nocturnal as well. Depends on environment.Comment
