Let your son shoot him

Still a young deer. Let him grow another year then make that decision.

let him walk one more yr

He's young. Best policy IMO is if there is any question in your mind, let him walk. I would rather let one that needs to be taken walk than to shoot one that needs to walk.

This is a small lease 150 acres. I have gotten a deer every year, No tropheys but some decent bucks. This year my 8 yo sun will be hunting with me. This deer shows up on the camera a lot. I dont like the fact that he is wide at the base with a wide spread and tines so short. I am considering letting my sun shoot him, I will pass him up during bow season, besides I have "H" to shoot my trophey.

If you don't on such a small place someone eles will . It never fells . It would be nice to let him walk though .

Imo if his tines don't grow to much more than that I would whack him bc I wouldn't want a short tined deer like that in my herd breeding does.

I have a similar situation and I personally would let the deer walk. However, if my son/daugther was old enough to hunt I would probably let them air him out. But remember, I am not on a high managed place either where we let the little ones go but we are not obsessive about management. If I was hunting that place with you and your kid dropped him, I would give him a high 5 and take his picture.
