Legal? Shoot?
« on: September 30, 2015, 11:01:23 AM »
Just for fun I thought I'd post a pic of a buck and was curious how many guys would call this (in the field) legal and how many would let it walk...

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

From the photo supplied, looks to be a pretty slick 2 point unless, his left side front has that tiny crab that is so common with these. Don't see any eyeguard points. If this was my best view in the field, based on that, he would walk.

EDIT after second photo: I still let him continue to walk away, that cab claw does not appear anywhere close to 1" in my opinion.
Just tend your own and live.

I would let this guy go...unfortunate. I have let deer like this go before.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

 :yeah: I swear an hour or 2 of every season is spent with these type bucks under the spotter scrutiny... not once have I made the decision to shoot.

He'd live to see another day....  Not enough there to chance it.

depends on what side of the mountain   :sry:
that could be a just West Blacktail  :chuckle:

ok, now that I can say that appears to be the dry side and that is a Muley, he only gets shot by the camera

That's not even close to being a 3 point.

That little kicker on the right is close, but that deer gets cussed at and lives another day if it's me.  :twocents:
