Probably not with a 8" brow tine.

I don't know if that brow tine comes off above or below the 4" mark but I doubt I would shoot him. I tend to live in the "rather be safe than sorry" camp

Yes I think it is legal as I read the reg. Not sure I would have the guts to try it.

If the brow tine is lower than 4 inches above where the antler attaches to the skull and there are no branches, I think it meets the legal definition.

If he's technically legal, good to get him out of the gene pool. I say yes.
