Age/Potential?

[techunter]

How old is this buck? He's always around the feeder, and I just don't know what to do with him. I think he is middle-aged and I don't see any injury that caused his rack to grow that way. Will he get better, or does he need to go?

I would take him out of the Herd he has seen his better years.

[Johnny Dangerr]

He is old enough to know not to grow a set of horns like that.

3.5-4. Cull

[txdukklr]

no question for me, unless you know he's hurt then he needs to be killed

[Vogner]

5 1/2-6 1/2, he's at his max, shoot him

[Slewfoot]

Regardless of antler score, he won't get any better. Take him out!! Will make great sausage and fried back strap.

Thanks for the opinions, fellas! My dilemma is that the buck in my avatar spent the entire summer at this spot along with his 125" 8-point and 130" 10-point buddies. This is my first year on this lease (in a one buck county) and we are only allowed one mature buck per hunter...

[Christianhuff]

Then wait, it sounds like he will be there either way.

[ShaBow]

Shoot him!

Kill em

Do you have any pics from previous years?

[Hou-Stoney]

Agree with the 5.5 yr.

[techunter]

No pics from previous years.

In your case only allowed 1 buck. I would hold off on shooting this buck until the end of season if you havnt killed a buck yet.
