Actually, it's a no brainer for the amount of meat, but I wonder if I should take the skinny one out before he dies this winter anyways.  He does not look good.  The second one, on the other hand, has at least 50 pounds of meat on him from past experience.  My daughter wants to try to shoot a buck this year with the ML, he might be a backup if we can't find another one outside of the yard.

The one is definitely a younger animal, but he is so skinny it looks like there is something wrong with him.   :dunno:

Isnt that food right infront of his face?
I guess just stick him and use those nice straight horns for a knife handle or toilet paper roll holder.

There's no CWD in WA that I am aware of.

Could be worms, he seems to be able to eat the apples just fine, so I don't think he has tooth problems.

It'll be fine,  shoot the fat one that keeps eating all the good grub and pushing little skinny dear around.  Next year he will be the fat buck.

The fat one. But then again if this year's elk hunt is any indicator, I'd probably miss!  :bash:
