3pt min area do you shoot?

[huntnnw]

  I think its a inch long

[steeleywhopper]

I pass, let him grow.

[huntnnw]

for sure

[LeviD1]

pass unless its the last day or weekend  . I like the taste of deer to much.

[lokidog]

Nope, I wouldn't count on those brow tines being an inch. 

[NWBREW]

For myself that would be a no. I am looking for larger more mature deer (more meat  ). I do have others in my camp that hunt just for meat...legal bucks that is but I believe they too would not shoot due too not being sure of the length of that little brow tine. It might only be 7/8''. They have passed many deer just for that reason.

[Bob33]

Some would call that point six inches, but I'd pass.

[jstone]

Nope

[benhuntin]

He's legal. Trophy in my mind. I don't pass up legal deer.


If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Make me feel bad about shooting my first whitetail. he was small but made a great shot and was not seeing any deer bigger than two points on the whole trip. Never had shot a whitetail so I took the shot. And to answer the question would he be legal in a three point area it would be yes. Back point looked bigger while he was alive but it was an 1 1/8".
Now the deer in the original pic I'm unsure of so would pass

[wildweeds]

I pass, let him grow.

good lookin symetrical set on what appears to be a very young buck,let this one go,It'd be kind of dicey to shoot and then realize that eyegaurd was measured with the wifes tape measure.Whaddya do when it's not an inch?I'm going with the pass vote.

[skeeter 20i]

Myself I would pass

If one of my sons were to shoot it, well now that would be high 5's all the way around.  It's all about perspective.

[benhuntin]

I like to hunt. Shooting babies like that is not hunting, its just killing.

i don't understand your statement. What makes a very tasty legal 3 point a baby, and why do you consider this killing any more than a giant buck. Seems like a lot of people on here no longer hunt for the reason hunting is designed. The question on this thread was is this a three point?  Not is this a big enough buck for you to shoot with you expert hunting skills?

[TeacherMan]

WAY TO SMALL! Let it grow. Give him a season and he will be a basket 4pt.

[elkoholic1]
