Would you shoot this deer?

[fulmer34]

I got a small piece of property to hunt this year and this deer showed up. He is a main frame six with split brow tine on one side and kicker on the other brow tine. This place is surrounded by other smaller properties. I am unsure of the hunting pressure from the other properties. So given the circumstances would you shoot or try and give him a year or two? I think he is 3.5 years old, feel free to give me some age guesses.

I would let him go this year. He's interesting. Appears to be young.

Antler Restriction county?

[Christianhuff]

No, he looks like a baby. Could turn out cool, but you won't know for a year or two.

Antler Restriction county?

No AR

[txoutdoorsman24]

Not this early in the season. Late season if he's still around and I haven't tagged anything yet them maybe so but it would still be pretty hard to pull the trigger...

Could turn into a giant 6 in a few years

[lexingtontexas]

Don't think he's 13in

[Mexico]

Yup young, let him go. He's already showing cool characteristics so no telling what he's gonna be in a few years.

[fulmer34]

Don't think he's 13in

It's Tom Green county so no antler restrictions.

[Mr. Whiskers]

I'd pass

[AgBass01]

Looks 2.5 to me, I'd let him walk. If it comes to the end of the season and you haven't got anything yet and need the meat then sure.

[Patton]

He doesn't get me too excited, I'd pass. I'd let him grow, looks 2.5 to me. Your call though

[TXHUNT3R]

Next year if he is a sixer again. THWACK
