I think hes legal. Most likely wouldnt shoot him tho. But would not belittle anyone for shooting it or anyhting else legal.

He is legal, I would pass myself, but if I had a kid with me.... I think he would make a fine trophy.  :tup:

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?


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

I call it killing because those very young deer like that haven't been around long enough to learn how to give themselves a fighting chance. It takes zero skill to shoot babies like that.
Well, your wrong.

Relax before you both get into a stupid you know what match. No right or wrong with any definition. Its an opinion, hello McFly. You both starting down this road is what is wrong with many threads. You get it into your heads that your OPINION is all that matters and to hell with the thread regardless of content. Grow up, let it go, move on, or simply shut up.

Rant over.

This is not being said about the deer in original picture.
If it's a definitely legal deer than I think others should not bad mouth someone for participating in the sport and put meat on the dinner table. If you don't want to shoot a legal deer because you have more time and money to put into your sport so be it and good luck getting the trophy your after. But some don't have a lot of time or money which it takes both to get a trophy usually. Or even the right land to hunt. Some secure good private land and are fortunate to have good quality deer to hunt year after year. I personally have lost out on most the land I've ever known because of the closures for timber company lands so while learning new areas I'm still trying to put meat on the dinner table.
Sorry if my "trophy" is offensive to some but I went out to hunt. Hunted hard this year and this was my final outcome to the season. And it tastes good.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Yep, he's absolutely wrong. Ridiculous. I don't like either of those posts. Better stop typing now before I get even more mad.

You've gotta ask yourself whether or not you could afford the ticket and losing the deer if your guess on the length of that little eye guard is wrong?  I would not shoot, seen too many eye guards like that that look bigger than they really measure out to be.

There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

Meat in the freezer! I love the taste of venison and tag soup sucked last year. This guy is currently in my freezer and tastes delicious.

Congrats. That's the way to do it. Waiting on a bigger deer doesn't put meat in the freezer, and we don't all have the best access to land. I shot a doe while hunting in ID this year for that very reason.

There is something just indescribably painful about being stuck behind a prius on the interstate.

Unless the buck would let me hop on it's back and measure that eye guard before pulling the trigger, I would definitely pass on that particular buck.  I have no problems shooting a small buck (they usually taste great), I just don't see any way I could be 100% certain that point is legal while in the field.
