Poll

Your thoughts while archery hunting and just looking to fill your tag

He's pretty tall, got to be at least a 3pt, eye guard is bonus.... shoot
Eye guard looks like an inch ...shoot
Better not, because I'm just not sure... pass
Definitely not legal pass

Poll: Who would shoot as a legal buck in 3pt min area
« on: July 23, 2014, 04:30:35 PM »
Took this pic yesterday, got me wondering how guys would read this in the field or how safe this buck would be come season.  Thought I'd start my first poll....

I did not vote because none of the shoot options you listed make it clear that it is a legal buck, which by the photo i would be.

That eye guard is just fine, and if i am archery hunting i would of been waiting this part of the field out so i would of seen him for awhile and at a few angles so i would also know if he is a 3 on that one side.

I hunt an area very similar to this and knowing were the deer enter or exit a field i often setup and wait, so i get to see some of them for a while.

Assuming i have looked him over and he is a 3 i'm letting the air out of him.
Or i have looked him over and he is only a 2 on that side, but with that eye guard again i'm letting the air out of him...

 He looks like a forky on the left side with a half inch eyeguard. The other side may be a spike with a smaller eyeguard. If it's a 3 pt area I'd pass even if he did have the 3rd point just because I know there's a better buck out there. I wouldn't fault anyone who shot it if it's legal. That's some good vittles right there. A trophy for anybody that's hungry!

I am not 100% on the eyeguard. I pass on that particular shot.

I modified to be clear this is a 3pt area.  The responses so far are just what I'm looking for.  One guys says eye guard is good so shoot, next guy says not good.


What say you?

I wouldn't shoot him if that eye guard was 6 inches long.

I am a meat hunter. You could hang your wedding ring on that eye guard.

I'm not sure about that eye guard so I will pass. If the eye guard was a little longer I would take the shot.

If one wants to slap the trigger on him, he's a legit buck by Washington States " 3 Point " description.
