    Is this a shooter?

    I've never shot a black buck before. Is this a decent one and are they good eating?

    I'd give him more time, but there are no guarantees hunting free range.

        Not yet mature. Don't have any experience eating them.

          Not yet, you can tell when they are mature by how dark thier upper back is. He still has a ways too go and if he makes it till he is mature and his back is black, he will be a NICE one.

                Decent, yes. Full blown trophy ? no. But, if he makes your happy, Whack him !!! i've only shot 1 BB and i liked eating it.

                  He's not bad. Definitely has room to grow.

                  And yes, they are excellent table fare

                      Since I have never shot one I would call it a shooter if low fence.

                        This is free range and they rarely come through here. I'm not sure if I could pass if he presented a shot.

                          My opinion is like the others. Great on the table but that one has some room to grow. If you don't think you'll get another opportunity then take it.

                            Not a shooter yet, the older they get the blacker they get......awesome eating, but like all wild game, any more then med rare it's to dry

                              Not fully mature, but he's more than a year old and he's still a spike. I'd whack him.
