By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

I guess there are some people out there who would pass on a buck like this, I am not one of those people. Even if I had seen a bigger buck in my time scouting I would knock him down without a blink or a regret. Mature bucks are what Im after during the high hunt. This buck is mature. Good luck man

You can't eat the rack.  As long as it is legal, I shoot it.  Then on to duck hunting.

If I had a time machine I would've made it legal deer season.  Not a doubt in my mind.  If knife season had been open I would've tried that...

Anybody who says they would've passed on that deer, I'd like to hunt with, so I could see if they live what they preach (cause I doubt they do).

Hopefully this one is on the menu come deer season, as it is plenty for me.

You'll find more than a couple guys on here that I know would walk away from that buck.  I'm not one of them at this point in my mule deer hunting career but there are others....guaranteed.
I shoot.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I feel the trophy is in the eye of the beholder. That's the beauty of America, we can all state our opinion. I have bigger bucks I've taken, but I think he's a nice wall buck and good representation of a mule deer. Tall and decent forks, not real wide, but would be nice in someone's house.......
