I'd shoot it for sure! 

The best way to load video is to upload them onto YouTube then post them onto the website.

IMHO...It depends on where the buck is at?? Private land where he can grow....genetics in the area, will he grow?? open land for anybody??

Horns are inside his ears by a couple of inches....go about 110" just a guess.
I have several on the wall larger so I would pass.

It is hard to tell from the pics, due to nothing to compare to, but his body is massive. He looked like a mule deer. My partner and I both agreed that he is at least 20" wide. We watched him and discected him for over 30 minutes. His 3rd and 4th points may be short and a little crab clawed when he finishes growing and sheds his velvet, but due to sheer size of this animal, his rack doesn't look as big as it actually is, especially for a blacktail. That is why I posted, because judging by his body and ears, he doesn't look that great, but seeing him in person, he is a lot bigger than he looks on camera. Thanks for posting everyone, I dought that I will shoot him, because I've only seen him the one time, and there are bigger bucks in the area, but I would given the opportunity.

I have a 3 point curse and cant find a buck during season with more then 3 points on a side. If he has a fourth point on one side I'd kill him, even first light of the first day.

Always use the saying, "Dont pass anything the first day that you would kill on the last."  Four point blacktail deer are not extremely common and would kill any 4 x 4 any day of the season.
