Shoot or let him walk

[PEC]

Let him walk...........until opening morning!!!

[cphillips]

I think he is mature, I'd shoot him. Don't let your neighbors get that trophy

Yep.....until he turns broadside, then lay the hammer down!

So what is everyone seeing from the B&W hazy pics that makes so sure he's a rare "run down" older buck? Imo if he's that old to have the thinning from age he wouldn't have such a sizeable rack. The deer biology would maintain his body first not his rack. I think he's a very impressive young deer that should be allowed to spread those genetics. "Run down" old bucks are very rare much less sporting a huge rack. All that said, I would want to see color pics that might show the sagging hide in the face and jaw line to be sure.

That deer is mature

Depends on your neighbors plus your management program . He is probably a 5 year old and possibly even 6 .. yeah he can probably reach that famous 160 plus 8pt every one is looking for but you just never know ! Right know as he is I would put money on he is every bit 145+ basic frame 8pt . It would be hard buck to pass up if it was me especially if he is standing broad side at 20 yards !

Typically a mature bucks antlers will extend to or past his nose. Based on the color pic I don't see the age in the face. Also don't see the girth in the front shoulders mature bucks usually develop. No sagging or squinting eyes. His antlers have several extra points; any protein feed? No matter what that is a nice looking buck.

He's 5.5+

I agree with this.

You shoot a Bowtech?

LOL. Now that's funny.

As far as the pic, that's a mature deer. I'd say at least 6.5, drooping gut, short legs and full brisket. Good buck to take for sure. Good luck.

He wouldn't get a pass from me.
