So my mother in law took pics of a nice buck but he looks young. Very unique rack on him that is for sure.

A deer in the freezer is worth 100 in the bush

If you must, pop that window open, lasso his ass and tie him off to the stove. then give it a couple years.

demontang · « **Reply #8 on:** November 30, 2015, 12:37:27 PM »

Lol I guess I'll see if I can find where he goes and try to ambush him.

fatten him up on lots of corn and antler grow formula..

Joking aside I would drop him as soon as I could do so legally. Lot of other guys out there that will drop him wihtout a second thought, get him now while you can..

There is the rub.... Even if you had hundreds of acres, there is no guarantee he will be around next year though.

Nice deer.

Bango skank · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2015, 03:48:05 PM »

You may never see him again. Get him

demontang · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2015, 04:39:52 PM »

New snow think I might call in tomorrow and try to get him.

Mark251 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2015, 06:18:30 PM »

Good choice.... and good luck!

Bullkllr · « **Reply #14 on:** November 30, 2015, 06:28:54 PM »

If he actually comes into the house you may have no choice- self-defense.

demontang · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2015, 06:34:34 PM »

Lol I'm sure he would come inside if the door was open. They are unafraid of anyone down there

predatorG · « **Reply #16 on:** November 30, 2015, 07:01:48 PM »

He's not worth it. If you want I can come down and help you deal with such small and worthless specimens.

Turner89 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2015, 08:21:54 PM »

Shoot

Gringo31 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 01, 2015, 11:28:46 AM »

I'd pass and enjoy watching him.

I'd consider harvesting him when I thought the odds were he wouldn't make it another year. Or, I'd let a first timer harvest him.

Rainier10 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 01, 2015, 11:35:42 AM »

Did you get him or did he disappear?

PolarBear · « **Reply #20 on:** December 01, 2015, 11:45:15 AM »

Let him grow

demontang · « **Reply #21 on:** December 05, 2015, 06:09:50 PM »

Well had a shot at him but let him walk :/ he was to close to privet land and didn't want to chance him going that way.

Wait, are you telling me that there are still people in this state that respect private property? Sounds like b.s. to me

demontang · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2015, 07:09:48 PM »

I've always respected everything. People property and rights are something I respect a lot as I would hope others do.

Bushcraft · « **Reply #24 on:** December 06, 2015, 12:11:15 AM »

Why do you think he's young?

Bean Counter · « **Reply #25 on:** December 06, 2015, 03:11:34 AM »

close eyes + slam trigger!

Shooting Stix · « **Reply #26 on:** December 06, 2015, 06:18:22 AM »

That is a shooter in my opinion because his horns are nice and thick if he was very spindley I would say pass

hunterofelk · « **Reply #27 on:** December 06, 2015, 07:21:10 AM »

You deserve kudos for holding off. Hunting isn't always about the kill. A lot is how a hunter feels about the choices they make to get to the kill.

nwwanderer · « **Reply #28 on:** December 06, 2015, 07:23:58 AM »

Pretty little antlers and in my opinion as good as he will get. Does not look like this is his first rodeo. On a different subject, I could give you some recipes for something better than corn for your feeder

HUNTINCOUPLE · « **Reply #29 on:** December 06, 2015, 08:17:20 AM »

Harvest him before you never see him again....... Grey Ghost will vanish to never return.......

demontang · « **Reply #30 on:** December 06, 2015, 09:37:19 PM »

Well he gets to go another round. I'm pretty sure he is 3 years old cause I've seen him since he was a fawn I'm sure. The marks on him give me away.

lokidog · « **Reply #31 on:** December 07, 2015, 08:31:36 AM »

I like it when the deer in the yard have some kind of mark to ID them. Weathergirl took one, Tall Boy (he had a ripped ear), that we had seen for three or four years and he had shown up as an adult.

demontang · « **Reply #32 on:** December 08, 2015, 12:15:11 PM »

This one has a black spot on his rear leg that's very unique. The first year he came in as a fawn he had like 3" spikes.

floatinghat · « **Reply #33 on:** December 08, 2015, 04:37:38 PM »

If you have seen him for a few years, aren't dropping pound because the freezer is empty. Let him grow, sounds like he has been around the area for a while. Just don't reach out the window with an apple in your hand.
