Thats a tough one bone, I wished I would have been faced with that decision this past season, now if it were a picture of a bear I might be able to answer with some certainty 😆, we became quite the bear hunters this past season even if it was by accident 😆😆.

Once again, tough decision, hard to tell but he looks young looking through the grass :dunno:. Beautiful buck and frame but if “ I knew his digs” I may give him a bit longer. ONLY if I knew his turf and I knew there was a good chance of bumping into him next year👍 Could you imagine another year or two under his belt! Stuff records are made from, great genetics with a ton of potential, still a dang tough decision and realistically, if any of us popped over a ridge and seen that guy looking up at us from 100 yards, I’m sure there wouldn’t be much thought into this hypothetical decision 😆🤣😆

Probably would depend on the area I was in and if larger for the area were common.  More mass would certainly be nice but even without it, that's still a really nice looking buck.

Some of you are pretty good at ageing these things so I'd like to hear what y'all think his age is.  If I had to guess, I'd probably say 4-5 years old. 

Also, at about what age is the general consensus on when mulies peak and start going the other way?

I would have a real hard time letting that deer walk on all but the best hunting grounds. What do you think he scores? Mid 170’s +?
