shoot or pass?

If you had this bull tag, would you shoot or pass on this guy opening day if you had a bull tag? This is not the biggest bull in the area, but I would have a hard time staying off the trigger. I hope to get better pictures of him.

I think it's a shooter for most people in any unit in this state. There will be a few guys that would decide based on where they were and the potential for bigger bulls. Looks like a nice 350ish bull
