Depends on what your management plan is. He’s a nice 8 and may pop next year, if there’s bigger deer in that age class shooting him won’t hurt anything. He would make a youngster a nice 1st buck.
He's got a nice frame. If he's 4 1/2, he could very well be a biggun in 3 years when he's fully mature... If nothing else, he's likely will pick up mass and character as he ages.
He looks 5 1/2 to me. If that’s the case he’s not going to gain a whole lot. I would get rid of him. Unless you’re end goal is just to have decent eight pointers. He will drove off younger better bucks and breed before them.
Don’t jump me if I’m wrong, I’m looking on my phone, lol... but it looks like he’s crab clawed. If that’s the case I would definitely get rid of him, crab claws are genetic, and they don’t score well.
