He's 1.5 years. I'd leave him. If you shoot him, be sure to post photo of teeth (back 6 teeth). I've literally looked at tens of thousands of dead deer in over 25 years, and in all that time and dead deer, I've held only 1 spike that was older than 1.5 years. That buck was 8+ yrs.
To maximize buck quality, the best approach is to only shoot bucks that are 6.5 yrs and older. Can't go wrong. Don't worry about culling, just shoot old bucks.
Want meat?...Shoot a doe.
