Shooter ? Legal ?

[Brett C]

I wouldn't chance it. That's a big fine if he's not & he looks young . I don't think he's legal .

[Big Daddy]

well he came out not once, not twice but 3 times. To close to call so he gets a free pass , from me. Being east Texas he better start thinking with the right head.

Good decision! They always look bigger from behind. I don't think he is legal but very close.

Its close, this is a good example of why the 13" rule isn't always a good one.

The 13" rule is designed to protect most 2yo bucks, and some 3yo bucks.
I'd say it's doing exactly what it's supposed to.

It's hard to tell without a full body pic, but I don't think that deer is 4+.

[Speedgoat]

12.5" non shooter, but I would. looks old enough.

[DedDucks]

I'm gonna say he's legal. Close though.

You're openly admitting you would break the law?

[Wudstix]

Very close.
