Since I'm mostly looking for deer for my 12 year old I'm pretty confident I'm watching my son take a shot.

Absolutely I would. Old symmetrical buck with good width. Tough to pass that guy up.

Would really depend what unit, what day of the hunt, and what had been seen so far up to that point.

 Pass with the rifle, tag him with the camera.

I think the key is the word "tag", that makes me think you are talking general season, not a special permit.

I might pass if I had a special permit, depending on a lot of variables.

General season late archery tag he is getting an arrow first hour of the season all the way up until the last sliver of hunting light.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

To me, that is the classic late tag buck.  Old, dark horns, good mass - rare to see bucks like that in the regular season.  It's a perfect example for the "great bucks that don't score diddly" thread.  If we didn't have weather that year or I just wasn't seeing other bucks like that, I'd drop him in a heartbeat.  But if it's early in the hunt or I'm seeing lots of mature bucks, maybe I hold out for something with a bit more wow factor.
